Altify

Altify automizes the task of inserting alternative text attributes for
image tags. Altify uses Microsoft Computer Vision API’s deep learning
algorithms to caption images in an HTML file and returns a new HTML file
in which alt attributes are filled out with their corresponding
captions.

Notice: Altify will now ignore any image tag whose alt attribute has
content or is just an empty string. (In compliance with standard web
practices)
