## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/altvision-ai-text-generator/`
    directory, or install via the WordPress Plugin screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu.
 3. Go to **Settings  AltVision AI** to enter your API key.
 4. Navigate to **Media  AltVision AI** to see the total count and click “Start Alt
    Text Generation” to process images.

## FAQ

### Where do I get the API key?

You can create a free key at [https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).
You must also enable the API and billing in your Google Cloud project.

### I’m getting an “HTTP 429: Quota Exceeded” error. Why?

This means you have hit your API rate limit (often on free tiers). This plugin includes
delays to help prevent this, but if you process a very large number of images or
run it frequently, you might still hit a limit. Enabling billing usually provides
much higher limits.

### How many images does it process at once?

The plugin processes images one at a time with a short delay between each. This 
prevents server timeouts and respects API rate limits, ensuring a stable experience
even on shared hosting.

### Will it overwrite existing alt text?

No. The plugin only generates alt text for images that don’t have one.

### Is my data sent to the AI service?

Yes. The image file and a text prompt are sent securely to the AI API to generate
the description.
