Give Every Image a Voice: A Deeper Look at Wawsome’s AI Labelling
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but only if its story can be understood by everyone. In today's visually-driven digital world, images are essential for storytelling and engagement. Yet, for millions of people with visual impairments, this content can become a barrier if it lacks proper description.
At Wawsome, our mission has always been to build a more inclusive web. A core part of that commitment is our AI-powered engine that generates accurate descriptions for visual elements, ensuring no visitor is left out. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on this powerful capability and introduce enhanced controls that give you more flexibility than ever before: AI Labelling.
The Power of AI-Generated Alt Text
Our AI Labelling technology is the intelligent solution for creating image alt text—the descriptive text that screen readers announce to users who cannot see an image. These descriptions are crucial not only for an inclusive user experience but also for meeting key compliance standards like WCAG.
From the beginning, Wawsome’s AI was designed to be an accessibility expert working for you around the clock. It automatically scans your content and provides accurate, context-rich alt text for any image that needs it, ensuring your site is accessible from day one.
Enhanced Control: Two Ways to Master Your Alt Text
We believe in combining powerful automation with complete user control. While our AI provides an incredible foundation for accessibility, we understand the importance of fine-tuning. That's why we’ve enhanced how you manage these descriptions, putting you firmly in the driver's seat.
You can now review, edit, and perfect your image alt text from two convenient locations:
1. Centralized Management in Your Dashboard
For a comprehensive overview, log in to your main Wawsome dashboard. Here, you can review all the AI-generated labels for your website's images in one place. From this central hub, you have the power to:
- Accept the AI-generated suggestions.
- Write your own custom labels for more specific descriptions.
- Revert to a previous version at any time.
This dashboard makes managing your site's image accessibility more straightforward and efficient than ever.
2. On-the-Fly Edits with the Accessibility Widget
Need to make a quick fix? We’ve now integrated our powerful labelling tools directly into the Accessibility Widget. For the first time, website administrators can log in via the widget to edit image alt text in real-time, without ever leaving the page they’re on. This is perfect for making quick adjustments on the spot, ensuring your website remains perfectly compliant and accessible at all times.
Bringing Your Visuals to Life for Everyone
With Wawsome’s enhanced AI Labelling controls, you’re doing more than just adding text to an image. You’re ensuring your message is heard by everyone, creating an equitable experience for all visitors, and strengthening your brand's commitment to inclusivity.
