Extension summary

Use the power of AI to caption images with a simple right-click. Let's make the web a more accessible place.

What is this? Auto Alt Text is a chrome extension that can generate descriptive captions for pictures.

Currently, users who are visually impaired must rely on metadata and alt-text descriptions put in by website developers in order to understand what an image actually contains. However, not all web developers take the time to caption all their images. This is where Auto Alt Text steps in.

Using artificial intelligence, the extension can analyze an image and detect the contents of the scene depicted in it within 5 seconds!

How does it work? It's pretty simple to get up and running!:

not working

This is nothing less than garbage occupying my valuable computer memory. I pulled up paper image...it said it was a pair of scissors; I pulled up a necklace image...it said it was a pair of scissors; I pulled up a set of 3 pull chains for lights and it said it was 2 pairs of scissors. I guess it thinks the entire world is one giant pair of scissors. LOL You should remove this from the store as it is a total dud!

Doesn't work at all. Just says, "There was an error processing your image." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
