I'm in love with the shape
summary
Live demo shows the Shape Detection API (barcode, face, text) used from the browser to augment alt text: barcode is default in Chrome 83, face and text are behind flags and require experimental web platform features. CodePen uses cross-origin anonymous images; face detector returns bounding boxes and landmarks but on macOS requires fastMode: true to find faces; text detector sometimes returns empty rawValue on macOS but works on Windows. Result: alt becomes image contains 1 faces plus joined detected text.
