Introduction to Altify

Altify is designed to generate alternative text (alt text) for images, focusing on accessibility and inclusivity, particularly for visually impaired users. Altify provides precise, concise descriptions of the primary subject and key visual elements of an image, following the best practices for web accessibility standards. The core goal of Altify is to make web content more accessible for users relying on screen readers. A key aspect is the creation of alt text that conveys the function and meaning of images in a way that ensures understanding even when the image itself is not visible. For instance, Altify can help describe a chart on a website by providing a summary of its content, while also aiding search engines in indexing the image correctly. Altify is particularly effective for complex images like graphs, charts, and diagrams, where detailed descriptions need to accompany visuals to maintain accessibility compliance.
