Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Verba generates accurate alt text for WordPress and WooCommerce images. It scans your media library, detects missing or weak descriptions, reads visible text with OCR, and writes verified alt text directly into native WordPress attachment metadata.

Install the plugin, click Connect to Uhallo, and select Start Bulk Scan from Settings -> Verba. Verba analyzes existing images, extracts text from graphics, and saves clean descriptions back to your media library. New uploads are protected automatically so your site never falls behind on accessibility.

The built-in admin dashboard displays your Coverage score, active queue status, upload protection, and side-by-side before/after fixes. The Reports Summary gives agencies and site owners an immediate audit log of scanned images, fixed descriptions, and ongoing protection.

Verba is built for real cleanup work where the plugin is the main product experience:

  • AI alt text for WordPress images and WooCommerce product media.
  • Bulk Media Library scans for posts, pages, galleries, and past uploads.
  • OCR-first text extraction for banners, menus, badges, charts, and screenshots.
  • Native WordPress database writeback, not a temporary frontend overlay.
  • Base64 firewall mode for staging, local development, and private networks.
  • Trial counters and proof summaries for agencies delivering accessibility reports.

External service and privacy

com. This external service is required for account connection, image analysis, AI alt text generation, usage tracking, and writing approved descriptions back to WordPress.

When you connect the plugin or scan images, the plugin sends your client identifier, signed request metadata, site URL, attachment ID, image URL (or Base64 image data in firewall mode), existing alt text, filename, MIME type, and callback URL. Uhallo processes this data to generate descriptions, update matching attachments, track usage, and keep the API secure.

An active account is required to use the hosted AI service. com/privacy.
