@alexander_schwaiger Fantastic offer. Making accessibility affordable for all. Plus, you can earn through referrals it's a win-win situation.
Automating alt text is a great move for improving accessibility compliance but how can we be sure it's accurate?
Maker
@samuel_kahlo
Great question @samuel_kahlo.
During our initial testing phase, we refined the model and especially the way it generates the alt text by adjusting the prompts multiple times. We also introduced the custom prompt field to allow users/clients to shape their alt texts as they wish too. The tool also looks at the existing alt text (if available) to make sure to capture specific context, like person names or other information.
To maintain control and prevent unintended updates, we offer a manual approval setting. This feature allows you to review and approve each generated alt text before it is implemented on your website, ensuring that all descriptions meet your standards and requirements.

I have added an example to the landing page so you can see it in action! https://alt-generator.ai/
Are there plans to extend support to other CMS platforms in the future, or is this exclusively for WordPress?
Maker
@lucas_edwards2
Yes, there are! Please let us know which ones you would be most excited about

How does the plugin strike a balance between being accurate and optimizing for keywords while still sounding natural?
Maker
@tabbunuru
The plugin is primarily focused on crafting accurate and understandable descriptions to match accessibility requirements.
We might add additional features down the road to manually set that balance. At the moment, we focus on generating precise descriptions of the images.
It is a tool that makes creating alt text easy without losing quality but does it work smoothly with all WordPress themes and page builders or are there any compatibility issues we should be aware of?
Maker
@jayce_gray
We have tested the plugin for WPML and Polylang. The plugin is developed to work autonomously. It grabs all assets from the media library and, if you want it, updates the alt text for that given language. It does not interfere with a theme or page builder.
We do always recommend to test on a staging environment first before rolling it over to production.
@alexander_schwaiger Does it utilize AI to create descriptions or does it extract metadata from the image file?
Maker
@jesus_porter
It analyzes the image as detailed as possible and also takes into consideration previous alt texts to create the best possible alt text.

Alt-text is often overlooked, but it’s crucial for accessibility and SEO. This AI Alt-Text Generator makes it super easy to generate meaningful, descriptive alt text without the manual effort. I love how it enhances inclusivity while also improving search rankings—win-win!
