It does <strong>not<\/strong> rewrite the Media Library. It uses SEO and editorial context already present in WordPress, such as focus keywords, post titles, product titles, or cleaned image filenames.<\/p>\n\n<p>Bialty is designed for site owners who want broad alt text coverage without destructive database changes, bulk rewrites, or external AI APIs.<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Official documentation and product site:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/\">bialty.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4>Quick product facts<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Product type:<\/strong> WordPress alt text automation plugin<\/li>\n<li><strong>How it works:<\/strong> injects alt text at render time in frontend HTML<\/li>\n<li><strong>What it does not do:<\/strong> does not rewrite Media Library metadata<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rule sources:<\/strong> focus keyword, title, image filename, combined modes, manual override<\/li>\n<li><strong>SEO plugin support:<\/strong> Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO<\/li>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce support:<\/strong> available in Pro<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI image analysis:<\/strong> not included<\/li>\n<li><strong>External API calls:<\/strong> none<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reversible:<\/strong> yes, instantly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>What Bialty does<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty applies a deterministic rule to images when a page is rendered.<\/p>\n\n<p>Depending on your settings and plan, Bialty can use:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Focus keyword from Yoast SEO<\/li>\n<li>Focus keyword from Rank Math<\/li>\n<li>Primary keyphrase from All in One SEO (AIOSEO)<\/li>\n<li>Post title<\/li>\n<li>Product title<\/li>\n<li>Cleaned image filename<\/li>\n<li>Combined values such as keyword + title<\/li>\n<li>Custom manual alt text set per post, page, or product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Bialty is useful for:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>adding alt text where none exists<\/li>\n<li>replacing existing alt text according to a defined rule<\/li>\n<li>standardizing alt text logic across a site<\/li>\n<li>covering WordPress posts and pages<\/li>\n<li>extending the same logic to WooCommerce and custom post types in Pro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>What Bialty does not do<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty does <strong>not<\/strong> do the following:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> rewrite Media Library metadata<\/li>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> permanently write generated alt text into the database<\/li>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> visually analyze images<\/li>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> call any external AI API<\/li>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> generate unique descriptive captions for each image based on computer vision<\/li>\n<li>it does <strong>not<\/strong> process headers, footers, sidebars, or widget images by default<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This distinction matters: Bialty is a <strong>contextual rule engine<\/strong>, not an AI vision plugin and not a bulk Media Library rewriting plugin.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why Bialty is different<\/h4>\n\n<p>Most image alt text plugins follow one of two models:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><p><strong>Bulk rewrite model<\/strong><br \/>\nThey rewrite alt text inside the Media Library or database.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>AI vision model<\/strong><br \/>\nThey send images to an external API and generate descriptive text from image analysis.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Bialty follows a third model:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Dynamic contextual injection model<\/strong><br \/>\nIt injects alt text into frontend HTML at render time using rules and signals already available in WordPress.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>This gives Bialty a distinct profile:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dynamic frontend injection<\/strong> \u2014 alt text is added to rendered HTML<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Media Library rewrite<\/strong> \u2014 stored metadata remains unchanged<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant reversibility<\/strong> \u2014 disable the plugin and the injected alt text disappears<\/li>\n<li><strong>No external API<\/strong> \u2014 no quota, no per-image cost, no API dependency<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deterministic behavior<\/strong> \u2014 same rule, same output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>SEO plugin compatibility<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty reads keyword data from the SEO plugin already active on the site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Supported integrations:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yoast SEO<\/strong> \u2014 reads the focus keyword field<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rank Math<\/strong> \u2014 reads the focus keyword field<\/li>\n<li><strong>All in One SEO (AIOSEO)<\/strong> \u2014 reads the primary keyphrase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If no supported SEO plugin is active, Bialty can still use titles or image filenames as the alt text source.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Free edition<\/h4>\n\n<p>The free edition covers the core WordPress use case.<\/p>\n\n<p>Included in Free:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Posts<\/li>\n<li>Pages<\/li>\n<li>Missing alt text rule<\/li>\n<li>Existing alt text rule<\/li>\n<li>Manual override per post or page<\/li>\n<li>Disable on homepage<\/li>\n<li>Debug mode<\/li>\n<li>Delete settings on deactivation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Free is intended for standard content sites that want dynamic alt text on posts and pages.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Commercial edition (Pro)<\/h4>\n\n<p>The commercial edition extends Bialty to larger and more complex WordPress stacks.<\/p>\n\n<p>Included in Pro:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Custom post types<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce support<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Product page coverage<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Product gallery controls<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Related products coverage<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Blacklist \/ exclusion rules<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Site Title<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Broader rule combinations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Product-level manual override<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Pro is intended for stores, agencies, and sites using WooCommerce or custom content models.<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/pricing\">Compare Free vs Pro<\/a><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/woocommerce\">WooCommerce documentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4>7-day paid trial<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty Pro offers a <strong>7-day paid trial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Important:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>the trial is <strong>not free<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>payment is required at checkout<\/li>\n<li>the trial gives access to the commercial scope so the plugin can be tested on a real site, theme, builder, and WooCommerce stack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This is useful when compatibility must be validated on a production-like environment.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Builder and editor compatibility<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty works when content is rendered through the standard WordPress frontend pipeline.<\/p>\n\n<p>Documented compatible editors and builders include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Gutenberg<\/li>\n<li>Classic Editor \/ TinyMCE<\/li>\n<li>Elementor<\/li>\n<li>SiteOrigin Page Builder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Important technical note:<\/p>\n\n<p>Bialty relies on WordPress rendering filters such as <code>the_content<\/code>, <code>post_thumbnail_html<\/code>, and WooCommerce-specific frontend hooks. If a theme, builder, widget, or template bypasses the standard frontend flow, Bialty may not affect those images.<\/p>\n\n<p>Known special case:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beaver Builder edit mode<\/strong> \u2014 Bialty is disabled in builder edit mode to avoid conflicts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Outside the default scope:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>header images<\/li>\n<li>footer images<\/li>\n<li>sidebar images<\/li>\n<li>widget images<\/li>\n<li>any image output that bypasses the supported frontend rendering flow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/compatibility\">Compatibility details<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4>How to verify Bialty is working<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty changes the <strong>rendered frontend HTML<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>It does <strong>not<\/strong> change the Media Library field.<\/p>\n\n<p>To verify Bialty correctly:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the published page in a browser<\/li>\n<li>Do not rely on the editor view<\/li>\n<li>Clear all cache layers if caching is active<\/li>\n<li>Inspect the <code>&lt;img&gt;<\/code> element in the rendered page<\/li>\n<li>Check the <code>alt<\/code> attribute<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>If the <code>alt<\/code> attribute matches the configured rule, Bialty is working.<\/p>\n\n<p>If the Media Library still shows an empty or unchanged alt field, that is normal. Bialty does not write generated values back to stored metadata.<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/troubleshooting\">Full troubleshooting guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4>Performance profile<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty is designed to stay lightweight.<\/p>\n\n<p>It does not:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>run a bulk background process<\/li>\n<li>queue database rewrite jobs<\/li>\n<li>call external APIs<\/li>\n<li>add per-image API latency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Instead, Bialty processes the rendered page at request time using local WordPress context. Actual impact depends on theme, builder, caching, and page complexity.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Accessibility and editorial note<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty helps automate <strong>alt text coverage and consistency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, context-specific manual alt text may still be preferable when highly descriptive, accessibility-focused, or editorially precise alt text is required for a particular image.<\/p>\n\n<p>Bialty is best understood as a scalable rule-based automation layer, not as a replacement for manual judgment in every image context.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Languages<\/h4>\n\n<p>Bialty is translated into 6 languages:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>English<\/li>\n<li>French<\/li>\n<li>Spanish<\/li>\n<li>Portuguese<\/li>\n<li>German<\/li>\n<li>Russian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Links<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/\">Official site and documentation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/features\">Features<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/how-it-works\">How it works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/woocommerce\">WooCommerce support<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/compatibility\">Compatibility<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/pricing\">Pricing and plans<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/troubleshooting\">Troubleshooting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bialty.com\/blog\/\">Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>About the publisher<\/h4>\n\n<p>BIALTY is developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/pagup.com\/\">Pagup<\/a>, a digital readability firm based in Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n\n<p>Alt text is not just an accessibility requirement.
