Altvisor
Altvisor creates image alt text and organizes accessibility work for EU e-commerce websites.
What Altvisor is
Altvisor creates image alt text and organizes accessibility work for EU e-commerce websites. It drafts descriptions against WCAG 2.1 Level AA in all 24 official EU languages, with a person able to review and edit each suggestion before publishing. Its scanner checks alt text, headings, semantic structure, and language tags, then provides an AI visibility score; every plan includes a free scan. Altvisor can prepare accessibility statements and compliance reports from scan results, but statements are self-declarations, not certificates. Users can import images from websites and connect WordPress or WooCommerce. Shopify and WordPress plugins, a Chrome extension, and API documentation are marked “soon.” The service says image uploads are processed in memory and deleted from storage, while generated alt text and limited image metadata are retained. Its stated AI provider is Mistral La Plateforme in France, and inference stays in the EU on every plan. The Free plan is free for 50 images monthly on one website, without an accessibility statement. Paid plans start at €12/mo; Starter is €12 a month, billed €144/yr.
