<p><strong>AI Auto Alt Text Generator</strong> is a lightweight, privacy-conscious plugin that uses OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini vision model to create meaningful, screen-reader-friendly alt text and SEO-friendly titles for your images. Whether you add a single image, bulk-process your library, or just want a one-click fix in the Media Library, the plugin handles it all – no manual effort required.</p>
<p>This solution is far cheaper than many alternatives because it cuts out the middle-person. You’ll just need to bring your own OpenAI API key.</p>
<h3>✨ Key features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic alt text on upload</strong> – set-and-forget accessibility.</li>
<li><strong>Optional automatic image titles</strong> – improve SEO with descriptive titles.</li>
<li><strong>One-click manual generation</strong> – “Generate Alt Text & Title” button in the Media Library.</li>
<li><strong>Bulk update tool</strong> – batch-process existing images (five at a time) with a configurable pause between batches.</li>
<li><strong>Prompt fine-tuning</strong> – supply site-wide context and optionally include the image file name.</li>
<li><strong>Image size & detail control</strong> – choose the resolution and level of visual detail sent.</li>
<li><strong>No extra servers</strong> – data flows only between your site and OpenAI; nothing is stored off-site.</li>
<li><strong>Multilingual output</strong> – choose English (UK), English (US) or other popular languages. (English US is the default.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>🧭 Where to find the bulk tool</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Bulk Alt Text Update</strong></li>
<li><strong>Media <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Bulk Alt Text Update</strong> (shortcut that redirects to the Tools page)</li>
<li><strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Alt Text Generator</strong> includes a button linking straight to the bulk page</li>
</ul>
<h3>🧠 How it works</h3>
<ol>
<li>When an image is uploaded (or manually chosen), the plugin creates a temporary public URL for that image.</li>
<li>It sends the image – plus optional context such as the parent post title, your custom site context and the file name – to OpenAI’s <em>gpt-4o-mini</em> vision model.</li>
<li>GPT-4o returns a concise description.
<ul>
<li>Alt text is stored in WordPress’ native <code>_wp_attachment_image_alt</code> field.  </li>
<li>(Optional) The returned title is stored as the attachment post title.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Nothing is cached or stored on OpenAI’s side; only the final strings live in your database.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Settings overview</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI API Key</strong> – Required to connect to GPT-4o.  </li>
<li><strong>Image Size to Send</strong> – Thumbnail, Medium, Large, or Full.  </li>
<li><strong>Image Detail Quality</strong> – ‘Low’ or ‘High’.  </li>
<li><strong>Site Context</strong> – Optional free-form prompt guidance (brand voice, niche, etc.).  </li>
<li><strong>Send Image File Name</strong> – Include file name in the prompt for extra context.  </li>
<li><strong>Automatically Generate Title</strong> – Add descriptive titles alongside alt text.  </li>
<li><strong>Use full context for image titles</strong> – When enabled, title generation includes site context and file name (uses more tokens).  </li>
<li><strong>Bulk optimiser delay (seconds)</strong> – Pause between five-image batches during bulk runs.  </li>
<li><strong>Output Language</strong> – Default English (US). Choose English (UK) for British spellings or another popular language; outputs (alt text and titles) will be generated in the selected language.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the <strong>OpenAI API</strong> to generate alt text and (optionally) image titles.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Endpoint:</strong> <code>https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions</code>  </li>
<li><strong>When called:</strong>
<ul>

</ul>

<p>This plug-in helps with a variety of common accessibility problems in WordPress themes. While most accessibility issues can’t be addressed without directly changing your theme, WP Accessibility adds a number of helpful accessibility features with a minimum amount of setup or expert knowledge.</p>
<p>WP Accessibility is not intended to make your site compatible with any accessibility guidelines.</p>
<p>All features can be disabled according to your theme’s needs. For advanced users, all of the functions based on modifying stylesheets can be customized using your own custom styles by placing the appropriate stylesheet in your theme directory.</p>
