With the impending European Accessibility Act (EAA) set to come into force by 2025, publishers are rushing to meet the accessibility guidelines. However, they are hamstrung by a lack of proper tools to deliver accessible content accurately and in a quick turnaround time.

To ensure this, publishers require an intuitive platform that can generate contextual alt-text for images with high accuracy and eliminate images that have poor context.

Arty is a cloud-based workflow platform to create, manage, and reuse alt-text using Lumina Datamatics’ artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithm. It employs an AI-powered similarity index to compare existing images with alt-text and suggest the most relevant ones. Arty can recognize images, objects, faces, and texts.
