External Services

This plugin connects to the Cloudmersive API to generate alt text for images using AI-powered image recognition. This service is essential for the plugin’s core functionality of creating descriptive alt text.

• What it does: The Cloudmersive API analyzes image content to produce alt text descriptions.
• Data sent: The plugin sends image files from your media library to https://api.cloudmersive.com/image/recognize/describe. This happens when:
  • An image is uploaded (if automatic generation is enabled).
  • You run a bulk alt text generation process for existing images.
  • You manually generate alt text via the media library or editor.
• Conditions: An API key from Cloudmersive is required (configurable in the plugin settings). If no API key is provided or the API fails, a fallback alt text (if set) is used instead.
• Service provider: Cloudmersive (PRT Systems LLC).
