The PDF world is buzzing with change, especially with legal mandates pushing the agenda. Let's talk about a persistent challenge in the PDF world: alt text. We all know it's crucial for accessibility, but the truth is, crafting meaningful alt text for every image manually is a daunting task. It's time-consuming, resource-intensive, and frankly, a bit of a headache. But fear not - imagine auto-generated descriptions!

With the promise of auto-generated image descriptions, AI offers a refreshing take on enhancing document accessibility. Venturing into the world of deep learning, we explore image captioning—an impressive fusion of image and text.
