@alexander_schwaiger Does it utilize AI to create descriptions or does it extract metadata from the image file?

@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.

Automating alt text is a great move for improving accessibility compliance but how can we be sure it's accurate?
Alexander Schwaiger
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.

How does the plugin strike a balance between being accurate and optimizing for keywords while still sounding natural?
Alexander Schwaiger
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.
