## Description

This plugin is a specialized tool that automatically generates alternative text (
ALT) for uploaded images using Sakura AI’s Vision Language Model (VLM).
 Simply 
enter your API key (BYOK format), and you can generate and save high-quality ALT
text with a single click from the Media Library or the Block Editor.

Heavy AI suite plugins are no longer necessary. With its lightweight and simple 
design, it improves your site’s accessibility and SEO without sacrificing performance.

### Usage Docments

### Key Features

 * Automatic ALT generation mode upon image upload.
 * Manual generation from the Media Library.
 * One-click generation from the Block Editor (Gutenberg) toolbar.
 * Customizable instructions (system prompts) for the AI.
 * Advanced Settings: Support for any OpenAI-compatible VLM (e.g., Qwen, GPT-4o)
   by changing the API endpoint.

### Third-party Service Data Transmission

This plugin relies on a third-party service to generate ALT text.

plugin, image data (converted to Base64) and your prompt will be sent to the configured
API endpoint.

   www.sakura.ad.jp/agreement/) and the terms of your specific API provider.

## FAQ

### Why isn’t the auto-generated ALT text reflected immediately in my post upon image upload?

To optimize performance and hook processing, the generated ALT text is applied to
the post content when you save or update the post or page.

### Do I need a paid API key?

Yes, you need to provide your own valid API key from Sakura AI or an OpenAI-compatible
service (BYOK).
