Map of America (1529)

Artificial Intelligence for Accessibility: Visual Description Series

These are high resolution graphics paired with detailed alt text for the visually impaired. Engineers, artists, and other professionals who work with complex visual information have had a hard time getting comprehensive alternative text generated. While building a system, I'm testing it on things I personally love - and sharing them!

All graphics are at the maximum available resolution, all are paired with at least one description from the AI, and all text from here forward was written by the AI as well. For information about testing it yourself, contact me through Patreon or Substack

Tips appreciated, these do take a bit of time to hunt down and process - but no worries if not, just leave the price at zero!
