An all-in-one solution for image accessibility in Ebooks.
++ The Free Ebook Foundation envisions a world where Ebooks will be + funded, distributed and maintained for the benefit of all, by + coordinating the efforts and resources of many. +
++ Many projects, such as the Gutenberg Project and Unglue.it, have + made great progress in distributing Ebooks. However, many of + these Ebooks lack alternative text (alt-text) for their images, + making them inaccessible to those using screenreaders. +
++ There are about 470,000 images without alt-text in the Gutenberg + Project's collection alone. +
++ Alt-Gen is a software designed to scan through Ebooks and + generate captions for images lacking quality alt-text. +
++ We utilize various modern technologies to accomplish this, such + as Image Caption AIs, Optical Character Recognition, and Large + Language Models. +
++ Being open source, there are multiple methods to use Alt-Gen. +
++ The inner workings of Alt-Gen are available via PyPi and + Github. +
++ This allows for full customizability and integration into + one's own projects. +
++ The code for the logic server and API is available on Github. +
++ This allows for anyone to self host their own service to + interact with and integrate with their own projects. +
+You can also use this website!
++ Simply create an account and upload your Ebook. We also + provide an easy to use dashboard to quickly proofread all the + alt-text in the Ebook. +
+The code for this website is also available on Github.
++ Alt-Gen is developed by a group of students from Stevens + Institute of Technology for their senior design project. +
++ The project is managed by Eric Hellman from the Free Ebook + Foundation. +
