Dock Access AI Alt Generator adds an alt text generator to the WordPress media library, aimed at site owners who need accessible image descriptions without manually writing each one.
Instead of processing images locally, it connects to a Dock Access account and produces one alt text per click, saved to the image right away. It suits editors managing large libraries who want alt text kept consistent across a site or across several sites tied to the same account.
The actual writing of alt text happens on the Dock Access service, not on the WordPress server: an AI model analyzes the image on the provider’s side and returns a description. This requires a Dock Access account and a site token, connected once from the plugin’s settings screen.
Once connected, a Generate alt text button appears next to the Alternative Text field on each image, and a dedicated bulk screen lists the whole library so alt text can be produced for many images in one pass.

Key Features of Dock Access AI Alt Generator
One-click alt text on each image. A Generate alt text button sits right below the Alternative Text field in the media library, producing a single description that is written and saved immediately, with nothing to pick or edit before it is applied.
Bulk generation across the library. A dedicated screen lists every image, paged and searchable, with a filter for items that still lack alt text. Selected images are processed one at a time, and if the account’s daily allowance runs out mid-run, the process stops cleanly, keeps everything already written, and reports where to resume.
Language matches each image. With WPML or Polylang active, the language of the generated alt text is detected automatically per image, with a manual override available on individual images, drawing from a wide set of supported languages.
Two-way sync with the Dock Access account. Alt text edited directly in WordPress is sent back to the connected account, and alt text edited in the account is pushed into WordPress through a signed endpoint, so both sides stay aligned without overwriting each other.
Guided connection setup. The settings screen walks through copying a site token from the Dock Access account, pasting it in with account credentials, and connecting, with direct links into the account for that step.
Status checks before generating. Before each generation, the plugin confirms with the Dock Access service that the generator is still active for the site, and reports clearly if it has been turned off or paused, rather than sending a request that would fail.
Usage visibility on the settings screen. The plan, daily request usage, and number of connected sites are displayed on the settings screen, giving a quick view of how much of the account’s allowance has been used.
Customizable context and tone. A default context and tone for generated descriptions can be set once in the plugin’s settings and overridden on individual images when a different description style is needed.

Good to Know About Dock Access AI Alt Generator
The documentation notes that alt text generation happens entirely on the Dock Access service rather than on the site’s own server, so an account with a site token is required for the plugin to function.
Site tokens, account tokens, and push secrets are stored in an encoded form in the options table and are never displayed on screen, though this encoding is not described as a secure secret store. Account login credentials are used only during the connect and disconnect calls and are not retained.
Uninstalling removes the stored connection and related settings, but existing alt text remains on the images since it is saved as standard WordPress alt text. The plugin supports common image formats including SVG, while other media types are not processed.
