🔄 Automatic ALT Generation (On Upload)

• When you upload an image, Alt Bot automatically generates ALT text using:
  1. EXIF data (ImageDescription)
  2. Filename (converted to readable text)
  3. Attachment title (fallback)
• Improves site accessibility and SEO by ensuring all images have meaningful ALT text.

Option 1: From Missing ALT Page

1. Navigate to Dashboard → Alt Bot → Missing ALT.
2. Use filters to view missing or existing ALT images.
3. Select images or use Select All.
