A11Y: building an alt-text review workflow for WordPress and WooCommerce

by•

Hi everyone, I work on A11Y at INSEQUENCE. We're developing a tool to help WordPress and WooCommerce site owners manage image alt text.

The planned workflow covers contextual alt-text suggestions for existing images in bulk and for new uploads, with review and editing before publishing. The aim is to reduce repetitive work while keeping site owners in control of the descriptions they publish.

One design question is how that review should work when a site has hundreds of images. A description still needs to fit the image's purpose and its page context, so generating text is only part of the workflow.

If you manage a WordPress site or WooCommerce store, what would you need to see before approving suggested alt text in bulk? Would reviewing each image alongside its page or product context be essential, or would you prefer another approach?

A11Y is still in development, and we're collecting early-access signups. It isn't a released plugin you can install today.
