Hi!
While I really enjoy seeing many of my fellow man being accommodating to people with disabilities. I find manually transcribing every image I post to be very tiring.
I thought that I could at least use some sort of AI to help with image transcripts, tho, that could probably be better used by the actual person with the disability.
So thats the question, should I skip the transcribing of an image or let an AI do it?
It depends a lot on the image. Multi panel comics have pretty long alt texts and AI can make it faster to reproduce the text in tge image.
But then you’re primarily extracting text, which you don’t need LLMs for. OCR tools will do the job much cheaper and more effective.
That was solved decades ago without AI. It’s called OCR.
