This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/the-another/aiccessibility/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater, so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.

AI accessibility plugin for WordPress

CLI Tool

The AIccessibility CLI (aicu) is a command-line tool designed to help improve web accessibility in WordPress sites. The CLI provides various features for automatically enhancing accessibility, with a focus on image alt text, standardized buttons, and skip-to-content implementations.

Current Features

  • Alt Text Generation: Automatically generate descriptive alt text for images using OpenAI models.

Installation

# Navigate to the CLI directory
cd cli

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the CLI
npm run build

# Link the CLI globally (optional)
npm link

Usage

Generate Alt Text for Images

# Using a local image file
aicu alt-text --file ./path/to/image.jpg --api-key your-openai-api-key

# Using base64 encoded image data
aicu alt-text --base64 data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQ... --api-key your-openai-api-key

# Using a specific openai model
aicu alt-text --file ./path/to/image.jpg --api-key your-api-key --model openai-vl

# List available openai vision models
aicu alt-text --list-models --api-key your-api-key

Environment Variables

You can set the openai API key as an environment variable instead of passing it as a parameter:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
aicu alt-text --file ./path/to/image.jpg

Upcoming Features

  • Button standardization for consistent UI and accessibility
  • Skip-to-content navigation implementation
  • Automated accessibility audits
  • Additional AI models for various accessibility improvements

Adding New Commands

The CLI is designed to be modular, making it easy to add new commands for additional accessibility features.

Setting up WordPress locally

  • Install WP-ENV package globally using NPM.
  • From the project repository run wp-env start and it will use the local config file `.wp.env.json1 to establish a local WordPress site in a Docker container.
  • Access site at http://localhost:8888/wp-admin/ with the login admin and password as username and password.
