Altbot™ Roadmap: What's Coming in 2025
Hello Fediverse friends! I'm Micr0, the creator of Altbot™ - a Fediverse bot that helps make social media more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images and videos for people with visual impairments.
I wanted to share my exciting development plans in the coming months. Your feedback and support have been incredible, and I'm working hard to make Altbot™ even more helpful for everyone.
Version 2.1.2 - Coming Soon!
- More Languages: Adding language support without message translations
- Better Reminders: Making the system more helpful and less intrusive
- Help Documentation: Creating a GitHub wiki with resources on using Altbot™ effectively
Version 2.2 - Audio Understanding
- Local Speech Recognition: Integrating a local model like Whisper to process speech in audio and videos
- Enhanced Media Understanding: Providing audio transcripts to the Ovis model alongside video frames for more comprehensive alt-text
Version 2.3 - Fediverse Integration
I'm thrilled to announce my first official partnerships with Fediverse instances! I'll be developing an API with direct integrations into Fediverse software, starting with:
- Chuckya (mastodon) integration for fuzzies.wtf and wetdry.world
- Sharkey (misskey) integration with plasmatrap.com
These integrations will make alt-text generation seamless for users on these instances, with more partnerships planned in the future. And anyone will be able to host their own Altbot™ for their instance as well of course 😀
The speed of these releases depends on several factors: my personal motivation, support from the community, and my workload. Your encouragement, feedback, and Ko-fi support all help keep this project moving forward!
