AI FileMeta

The AI FileMeta feature in T3AA helps you automatically generate metadata for your images using artificial intelligence. It supports both individual and bulk image processing, including those attached to content elements.

  • Automatically generate metadata for single images, including title, description, and alt text.

  • Generate metadata for images attached to content elements.

  • Process multiple files at once using the Bulk Metadata feature.

AI FileMeta (TextAlt.ai API)

Step 2 : Select a folder.

Step 3 : Choose an image from the list.

Step 4 : Click on Edit Image Alt Metadata.

Step 5 : Click the Generate AI Alt Metadata button.

Step 6 : Select TextAlt.ai from the dropdown.

Multilingual Metadata Creation

The Multilingual Metadata feature allows you to generate image metadata (like title, alt text, and description) in multiple languages using AI.

You have two options for generating multilingual image metadata:

Manual Metadata Generation per Image

Bulk Metadata Generation with Multilingual Support using a Scheduler

Manually writing alt texts for images can be repetitive. With AI Bulk Metadata, you can generate or update image metadata for entire folders at once — even across multiple languages.

Steps to Generate Bulk Metadata

Step 1: Go to the File List module.

Step 2: Select the folder that contains the images you want to update.

Step 3: Click the Mass AI File Meta button in the toolbar.

Step 4: Choose how you want AI to handle your images:

Queue only missing metadata → Adds AI-generated metadata only where none exists.

Queue and override all metadata → Regenerates metadata for every image, even if some already have alt text.

Step 5 (Multilingual Option):

Use the language selector to pick the language in which you want metadata generated.

If you check the box “Generate file if translation is missing”, the system will automatically create the translation file for that language if it doesn’t already exist.

Step 6: Run the Scheduler from the System Module to process the queued metadata jobs.

Step 7: Revisit the File List to check the newly added or updated alt texts in your chosen language(s).
