Read this technical documentation to learn more about how to configure bulk Alt text generation with AI.
Bulk Alt text Generation with AI is a feature that works as an extension to our existing Alt-text generation with AI feature. The new functionality enables you to provide your end users with an easy method to create alt text captions across multiple image module types simultaneously using artificial intelligence. Through this feature, your application end users will be able to boost the accessibility of their content while also saving a significant amount of time.
While this feature works for multiple image modules, it does not work for dynamic images.
Prior to configuring this feature, ensure that you have the following:
Superpowers or Enterprise account
Enabled Azure Vision AddOn in your Developer Console
If you have a default alt text set, the image won't be included among the ones that need an AI-generated alt text. If you have a default value set in your defaultContents
, this will require the end user to delete the default text before being able to generate the new alt text with AI. To avoid this behavior, and for this feature to work best, we recommend you do not set a default value for alt text in your beeConfig
.
If you do have a default value set, you can delete it one of the following ways:
Set the alt property as an empty string
Delete the line of code from your defaultContents
The following code shows an example of the alt
property within the defaultContents
. In the scenario presented in the following code, we recommend deleting the Default alt
value set within the alt
property.
The following code shows an example of the alt
property set as an empty string. This is how we recommend you set your code for this feature to work best.
Note: You can still use the defaultContents
alt
value and the AI-generated Alt text in Bulk at the same time. However, it will require the end user to delete the default alt text prior to using the AI-generation tool for that particular image module.
To configure Bulk Alt Text Generation with AI for your application, take the Configuration Steps outlined in our Alternate Text Generation with AI documentation.
AI Alt Text Generation in Bulk is compatible with Token Upselling. Through Token Upselling, you can configure your application to verify that end users have enough tokens to generate alt-text for multiple images at once.
The type of images they can create alt-text for are the following:
Images
Stickers
Icons
GIFs
Custom AddOn Images
If they do not have sufficient image tokens in their account, you can redirect them to purchase additional image tokens prior to performing the bulk generation.
This feature is not compatible with Multi-language Templates, and is currently only available in English.
If you experience any issues with setting up this AddOn, take the following measures to troubleshoot your configuration:
Ensure your Azure API key is connected correctly within your Beefree SDK Developer Console.
Ensure your custom endpoint is set up correctly in the SDK console.
Repeat the configuration steps outlined in this document.
As you configure this feature, ensure you consider the following:
You will be billed through your Microsoft Azure account for AI generation-related features. Ensure you consult their billing page for details on pricing.
