=== Alt Text Image Meta ===
Install: Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin > choose alt-text-image-meta-v1.9.2.zip > Activate.
Setup: "AI Alt Text" in the left admin menu (or the Settings link under the plugin name) > paste your licence key from alttextmeta.com > Save (Own Key plan: then add your OpenAI key).
New uploads are analysed instantly while they upload - alt text appears as soon as the upload finishes. Use "Test API key" then "Scan unprocessed images now" for older images,
or "Regenerate with AI" on any image in the Media Library.
Tabs: Settings, Bulk Scan, Processing History, Error Log, Usage. Media > Library (list view) also has an "AI Alt Text" column and a bulk action.
v1.8.0: Chart detection. Charts, graphs and data tables get alt text that states the takeaway, plus an accessible HTML data table
added below the image in posts (toggle in Settings > Behaviour). Use [chart_table id="123"] to place it manually. Media Library shows "[Chart + table]".
v1.8.2: A valid licence key is now required on every plan. OpenAI key field only appears for active Own Key licences.
v1.8.3: Instant tagging on upload (no longer waits for WP-Cron). Background retry if the first attempt fails.
v1.9.2: Sharper chart reading (1536px images), tidy chart tables with every row matching the headers, right-aligned numbers, mobile scrolling, plus insights and source notes.
v1.9.1: EU-language output locale setting for both plans. Local number/date formats, original visible text preserved with translations, brand names unchanged, and alt text at most 150 characters. Multilingual health checks recognise non-Latin scripts.
