ALT generator Joomla

The package has a component for the connection and the alt texts and a content plugin that synchronises the changes in articles. It works with Joomla 5.4 and newer, including 6.x, on PHP 8.1+.

What it covers

The intro image and the full article image of the Images and Links tab. Images inside the article text, fields of other extensions and template graphics need separate care. Generating needs the image file on the site's server.

Connection

You install the package in System → Install → Extensions. In Components → DockAccess AI Alt Generator → Connection you give the site token and the e-mail address and password of your DockAccess account and set the default context (up to 500 characters) and tone.

Generating

Open Components → DockAccess AI Alt Generator → Alt texts, search for an article or pick a language and choose Generate at an image. The description is saved in the article at once. When the first one looks right, select more images and generate them together. Generating needs the right to edit that article.

Limits

The free plan describes 10 images a day on one site. Paid plans count images a month: Starter 500, Pro 2,000 and Agency 20,000. The limit counts the images described in your DockAccess account and by every integration together.

Good alt texts

Check a generated description before you publish it, especially names, numbers and the text visible in the picture. A decorative image should have an empty alt, and an image that is the only content of a link describes where the link goes.

Data

To write a description, the AI service gets the image, the language and the context and tone you set.
