[question] Alt-text service, self hosted (social.graves.cl)

[question] Alt-text service, self hosted

Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.

Of course, without depending on Google or similars.

Any ideas? cc @selfhost@lemmy.ml @selfhosted@lemmy.world

@Deebster@programming.dev maybe just OCR would be enough for a lot of cases

Yeah, that's what I mean by transcriptions; if you're mostly posting screenshots of social media posts then it'd probably work quite well, but if it's photos you're definitely going to need something more complicated.
