[A11Y] Alt-text

Hi everyone!

To improve accessibility in a collection of 70,000 ebooks, I'm surveying the landscape for tools to help volunteers edit and improve alt-text descriptions. What tools are publishers using? I had some students look at the use of AI to assist in this and the results were promising, but just as OCR will get you only so far, they won't be good enough to use without significant human-intelligent editing. 

Some of the results are on our website; I'm looking for partners interested in taking this further. https://ebookfoundation.org/exploration.html
