I have 10,000 photos on my website. About 9,000 have no alt-text. I’m not proud of that, and it has bothered me for a long time.

Going back and hand-writing alt for 9,000 images isn’t a job that most of us can fit into our lives and I empathize. Are computers up for the task finally? Rather than pick a model and wire it up and do it, Dries wanted to do some testing and pick the best option. The answer isn’t perfectly clear, but there are some decent options and other forward thinking ideas here.
