How a reader interprets a webpage
After conducting tests on our own web-document we discovered that the default way a computer reader, such as JAWS, reads a webpage is not from left to right and top to bottom, but by determining which is the primary block of text, then the next largest and so on. Based on this we reconsidered where and how we placed invisible text to approximate the flow of the document.

We placed invisible text [colored here for clarity], that we wanted to have read first, at the beginning of the body of main text.

Some images require no captions, so the entire description is invisible.
Where we do have a caption we added only the invisible words Graphic or Image or Photo.
Setting the color wheel to zero opacity is another way to create invisible text.
