OCR & existing media library

  • I’ve noticed that the plugin doesn’t make use of the OCR portion of the Vision API, any plans to add this functionality?

    Also would really like to see this be able to apply to previous media uploads. I really love this though, I am about to deploy it to ~200 WordPress installs. But if I could make this scan existing media library items, that would be absolutely incredible.

    Hi, thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you like it!

    I don’t get a lot of time to work on the plugin, but having a way to set the alt text for exisiting images is at the top of my todo list.

    The plugin as it is right now is relatively simple, and creating a UI and process for the bulk updating of existing images is a decent amount of work that requires careful consideration.

    Regarding OCR, that’s definitely something I’ll consider. I can see how it would be useful. Looking at the API it’s not quite as straightforward as image descriptions, so I’ll need to play with it a bit to see how well it works and what the best way to implement it would be.
