Questions worth asking first
About review, publishing and language support.
Does generating descriptions make my site compliant?
No. Alt text is one criterion. We record reviews, not certification.
How accurate are the generated descriptions?
Review before publishing: a model can't know the image's purpose.
Will it overwrite descriptions I have already written?
No. Existing text stays; weak descriptions are flagged.
What about images that shouldn't have a description?
Reviewers choose empty descriptions so screen readers skip decorative images.
Can it handle a large catalogue?
Yes. Draft batches and approve similar images together.
Are descriptions written in my customers' language?
Each site language gets its own reviewed description.
