ALT generator Symfony

The dockcodes/dockaccess-alt-generator-symfony bundle works with Symfony 6.4, 7.4 and 8 on PHP 8.2+. It gives your application the AltText service, console commands to connect and check the connection, and generating with Symfony Messenger.

Connection

After installing and registering the bundle, run php bin/console dockaccess:alt:connect and give the site token, the public address of the application and the e-mail address and password of your DockAccess account.

In your code

Inject the AltText service: $altText->generate($request->files->get('photo'))->alt()->text() returns the description of an image. For more images, generate them with Messenger and save the result in your application.

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.
