Uses deep learning to caption img tags within a web page and fills out their alt attribute with the related caption
Project description
Altify automizes the task of inserting alternative text attributes for image tags. Altify uses Microsoft Computer Vision API’s deep learning algorithms to caption images in an HTML file and returns a new HTML file in which alt attributes are filled out with their corresponding captions.
Notice: Altify will now ignore any image tag whose alt attribute has content or is just an empty string. (In compliance with standard web practices)
