As described in this support thread, the Endpoint URL displayed in Azure no longer includes vision/v1.0, so the plugin needs to add it if it's missing.

The plugin usage instructions refer to outdated URLs. Usage instructions should refer to up-to-date documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/computer-vision/vision-api-how-to-topics/howtosubscribe

The Computer Vision API supports multiple languages in the 2.0 version of the API. The plugin should allow users to select one of these languages for the alt text, probably defaulting to the current site language.

The plugin should support setting alternative text on existing media in some way. Either individually or in bulk.

The plugin should support setting alt text on media in bulk. This should be relatively simple using Bulk Actions while in List mode, but adding a button to Grid mode seems to be more difficult.

Investigate the possibility of updating alt text for images in content.

Updating alt text in the media library will update alt text for any images used in correctly developed templates, or as featured images, but won't help for images added to content using the Classic or Gutenberg editor.

This feature would need to scan post/page content HTML to find images missing alt text, send the URL to the API, and then update the HTML. Need to figure out how to handle large numbers of posts, and whether there'll be an issue with breaking Image and Gallery blocks if the HTML is updated directly.

Microsoft has added the Computer Vision API to Azure and supports access over a range of region-based endpoints. The plugin needs to be updated to support these endpoints.
