This plugin implements the automatic creation of alt text for images uploaded to the media library. The alt text is generated at the time of uploading the image and it is also possible to generate the alt text for images already present in the media library.<\/p>\n
To generate the alt text, you can choose to use the artificial intelligence of OpenAI or Azure, or decide if you simply want to copy the title of the article where the image is uploaded or the name of the image.<\/p>\n
Clearly, using artificial intelligence will allow for a more accurate and useful alt texts.<\/p>\n
This plugin allows you to generate alt texts in the following ways:
\n\u2013 using Openai APIs (GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini, o1 Mini)
\n\u2013 using Anthropic Claude API
\n\u2013 using Azure APIs for computational vision;
\n\u2013 recovering the title of the image
\n\u2013 recovering the title of the article in which the image is uploaded<\/p>\n
After installing the plugin, click on the \u2018Auto Alt Text\u2019 menu item.<\/p>\n
Select the Generation Method you prefer<\/p>\n
In your OpenAI account, retrieve the following data to enter on the options page:
\n\u2013 API Key<\/p>\n
Choose the model you want to use for generating the alt text.
\nEnter a prompt for generating the alt text according to your needs.<\/p>\n
In your Anthropic account, retrieve the following data to enter on the options page:
\n\u2013 API Key<\/p>\n
Choose the model you want to use for generating the alt text.
\nEnter a prompt for generating the alt text according to your needs.<\/p>\n
On your Azure account, create a Computer Vision instance and retrieve the following data to enter on the options page:
\n\u2013 Computer Vision API Key
\n\u2013 Computer Vision Endpoint<\/p>\n
If you want to generate an alt text in English, save the options without filling in any other fields.<\/p>\n
If you want to generate an alt text in a different language, on your Azure account, create a Translator instance and retrieve the following data to enter on the options page:
\n\u2013 Translator Instance API Key
\n\u2013 Translator Instance Endpoint
\n\u2013 Translator Instance Region<\/p>\n
After entering this data, save the options.<\/p>\n
Select the desired language and save the options again.<\/p>\n
For this generation method, there are no options to set as the alt text will be generated by copying the title of the article in which the image is uploaded.<\/p>\n
In case the article is not uploaded as an attachment of an article, the \u201cTitle of the attachment\u201d method will be used as a fallback.<\/p>\n
For this generation method, there are no options to set as the alt text will be generated by copying the title of the image.<\/p>\n
Once the plugin is configured, each time an image is uploaded to the media library, an alt text will be automatically set based on the selected generation method.<\/p>\n
For images already in the media library, you can create bulk alt texts. Open the Media Library in the \u201clist\u201d view, select the images for which to generate the alt text, and choose the \u201cGenerate alt text\u201d bulk action. (Depending on the number of images chosen and their weight, this may take some time.)<\/p>\n
You can also generate the alt text of a single image directly from the media library. Open the Media Library in \u201cgrid\u201d mode, choose the image for which to generate the alt text, and click the \u201cGenerate alt text\u201d button. In no time the alt text field will be overwritten by the generated description.<\/p>\n
Notice<\/strong>: If you choose one of the methods that involves the use of external APIs, the upload times for images in the media library might increase because it requires sending a request to the APIs, waiting for the external server to process, and waiting for a response.<\/p>\n If the generation of the alt text via AI is set, in case of errors, to avoid blocking the editorial work, the image is loaded anyway but without the alt text being compiled.<\/p>\n When a call to the Azure or OpenAI API fails, a record containing the error message is saved in a custom database table.
