Overview

Flipsnack's AI can generate summaries for each page in your flipbook. These summaries support screen readers, improving accessibility for visually impaired readers.

Each summary includes both text-based and image descriptions, supporting the reading experience and making your publication more inclusive.

Requirements

  • Plan: Professional and above. 
  • Flipbook: Must contain a minimum amount of text for AI to generate summaries accurately. 

Step-by-step guide

Here’s how to access and use this feature:

Step 1: Select the flipbook you want to make accessible and click on Customize.

Using the Extract flipbook text option

For more control or faster setup, you can use the Extract flipbook text option. This pulls all page text directly into the accessibility panel. 

Important:

  • This method will replace any manually entered or previously generated summaries.

  • Always check the text for clarity and context.

We have even more features planned to be available in the AI package:

  • Generate and rephrase text: when creating flipbooks from scratch, you will be able to generate and rephrase content quickly;
  • Convert text into an image: Soon, you will be able to add a description inside the flipbook and have an image generated for you.
