Yes, that is correct. I have found a solution since my email which involves drilling down through the doms and setting the alt attribute, but it would make more sense (IMHO) to have this as a paper-card option.

Then you could provide a description (if you wanted one) or do alt="" which, if I recall, instructs the screen reader to skip the image.

I am creating an element which wraps a paper-card element: <template> <style include="cnid-card-style"></style> <paper-card class="xxx" elevation="0" image="{{cardimage}}"> <div id="cnid-content" class="card-content"> <div id="ban-text" class="yyy">{{bannertext}}</div> </div> </paper-card> </template> I have this working as intended with the exception of accessibility with Talkback. Through inspection, I have seen that by supplying an image to paper-card, it winds up in a nested 'div' which has aria-label set to the image name: <paper-card> <div> <iron-image> <div id="sizedImgDiv" aria-label="image name"...> When I now tab through the page with Talkback enabled, it stops at the image and announces the image name. I want to prevent this. It should only announce the text in 'ban-text'. Note that there is no code yet to announce 'ban-text'; I am stuck at preventing the image announcement. Is it possible to disable the image announcement? If so, how?
