“I had been dreading the idea of keywording thousands of photos I want to submit to stock agencies. When I saw how easy Annotator was to use, I was sold. Once I started using it, I was blown away by how quick it made the process, and by how many keywords I could easily attach. I love that it can automatically embed to IPTC. Great program!”
“You are saving me TIME, my most precious non-renewable resource! Thanks to Annotator, our Alamy views, zooms and sales have increased. Also, as a U.S. artist, I appreciate the ability to add British spellings.”
“…once I had seen the product, it excited me that we could have top words and phrases offered up from qualified sources and help massively automated the keywording process, which in turn enabled us to use keyworders who were not particularly experienced or even had English as their 1st language…. They accurately supply a very good range and spread of descriptive words, which has meant that we have been able to keep our costs down and quality high as we start the business.”
“I am a full time stock photographer submitting to macrostock, midstock and microstock agencies. Keywording is a tedious and very time consuming thing for me. Annotator is a very nice and flexible solution. I can organize my files online and describe and keyword them in batches. I love the "Commercial vocabulary" suggestions very much as I am not a native speaker. This vocabulary speaks the "Language of stock" as it shows not so obvious links between words that are used by stock agencies.... I save hours of time with my own Hotlists that enable me to add a whole keyword set with a single click of a mouse. Annotator lets me arrange my keyword sets alphabetically or by drag and drop which is very important for submitting to agencies who require sorting by priority....
In my career I have tried a lot of keywording solutions. Annotator may not be perfect, but it is the best product I know. It fits in my workflow and saves me hours. The guys at Imense are more than responsive - I have suggested new features and they have realized some of them.”
“Keywording sounds easy but the only easy thing about keywording is making it ineffective or weak, especially in concept connectivity. Annotator is a great contribution toward intelligent, efficient keywording becoming as natural an integrated part of workflow as it is vital.”
“I am constantly looking for more efficient ways to process my images to Alamy. Your service looked like it might be helpful and at least worth giving it a try…. I am finding your service to be helpful in my effort.”
