Image Bank
Purpose
The Image Bank exists to ensure that DIY Easy Read can pair appropriate, high-quality images with the text concepts it generates during translation. Images are a defining feature of Easy Read — a document without supporting imagery does not meet Easy Read standards. The Image Bank makes this possible at scale and at speed.
Scope
The Image Bank is an internal component of the DIY Easy Read platform. It is not available for direct access by end users outside the application. The Image Bank is continuously expanded to improve coverage of concepts encountered in real-world document translation.
Components
Over 7,000 AI-generated illustrations organised by concept and topic
A search and matching system that the DIY Easy Read translation engine uses to identify appropriate images during document processing
Ongoing expansion: new images added regularly to improve coverage and accuracy
Images designed in a consistent style appropriate for Easy Read documents
Outputs
Contextually appropriate images embedded in Easy Read documents produced through DIY Easy Read, meeting the image-pairing requirement of Easy Read standards.
Relationships
The Image Bank is part of DIY Easy Read
The Image Bank supports AI Powered Translation by providing the illustration resource required for image pairing
The Image Bank contributes to the quality of Easy Read outputs produced by DIY Easy Read
The Image Bank is a differentiating feature of DIY Easy Read relative to generic AI tools that lack Easy Read-specific illustration sets
Authority and Intellectual Property
The DIY Easy Read Image Bank is proprietary. All images are owned by DIY Easy Read. The Image Bank is not available for use outside the DIY Easy Read platform without authorisation.
