Putting it out there -- I'm wondering if anyone familiar with #GoogleVision #GoogleVisionAPI could share whether there are solutions available that can create #alttext for diagrams and application screen shots? #wcag #accessibility
Boosting for exposure is appreciated!

What they can tell from a single photo
https://jackyan.com/blog/2025/05/what-they-can-tell-from-a-single-photo/
Again inspired by a blog post by @bendaubney (I promise I will stop getting ideas from your blog, Ben).
Again via Ben Daubney’s blog, which I found yesterday, a site called They See Your Photos, which uses Google’s Vision API to infer information about you. If you feed in a photo, the site provides Google’s output, and it is eerie what they are capable of “seeing”. However, the single photo’s output is not accurate,
Google Vision API not holding back any punches. Going straight for psychic damange.
The most recent photo of me that isn’t a selfie, and what ai concludes from it.
We like ai now.
Ai is my best friend.
Ai thinks I’m in my mid-twenties. Everything else is wrong, but who cares!
They See Your Photos, a demo of the Google Vision API, looks like a promising tool to generate alt text. I tried it on a still from an episode of Weebles, an obscure CGI animated series from 2005. Compare their alt text to my own.

As an alternative to the well-known ZXing library for Xamarin and .NET MAUI there is also a plugin for barcode scanning with Google Vision and ML Kit! With this plugin scanning all kinds of barcodes in your .NET MAUI app is a breeze. Let me show you!
