## Description

AltGenAI connects your site to the AltGenAI cloud service to generate descriptive
alt text for images. Good alt text improves accessibility and can help SEO.

This plugin requires an active internet connection and a valid API key. Generation
happens on external servers; see the FAQ for what is transmitted.

#### Features

 * Generate from the Image block sidebar and Gallery images in the block editor
 * Generate from the Classic Editor media modal
 * Button on the attachment edit screen and in the Media Library list view
 * Optional auto-generation when new images are uploaded
 * Styles: descriptive, SEO-focused, accessibility-focused, or concise
 * Many output languages
 * Optional focus keyphrase hints from popular SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO,
   SEOPress, Squirrly, SmartCrawl)
 * Bulk scan and process missing alt text

### External services

This plugin relies on the AltGenAI cloud service to process images and generate 
alt text.

 * **What the service is:** A cloud-based AI engine that analyzes image content 
   to provide descriptive metadata (alt text, titles, captions).
 * **What data is sent:** When you generate alt text, the plugin sends the image
   URL (or the image data itself if the site is private), your API key, and your
   preferred style/language settings to `api.altgenai.com`.
 * **Terms and Privacy:** Use of this service is governed by the [AltGenAI Terms of Service](https://altgenai.com/terms)
   and [Privacy Policy](https://altgenai.com/privacy).

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install through the Plugins
    screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **AltGenAI  Settings**, enter your API key, and save.
 4. Use **Bulk Generate** or per-image actions to generate alt text.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account?

Yes. You need an API key from the AltGenAI / service dashboard.

### What gets sent to the API?

Your API key, chosen language and style instructions, optional site context, optional
SEO keyphrase/title hints, and the image (either a fetchable URL or an encoded upload
when the site is not public).

### Does it work offline?

No. Alt text generation requires the external API.
