How the Caption Scorer works
Caption Scorer checks how well a photo's caption actually matches what's shown in the image, using a match score and a visual heatmap you can point to as evidence.
STEP 01Pick a starting point
Use Manual Upload to score your own image and caption, or Analyse via Article URL to pull the hero image, title, and caption straight from a published article.
STEP 02Add the caption details
For a manual upload, add the image plus a caption and an optional headline. For a URL, just paste the link, no extra typing needed.
STEP 03Run the analysis
The tool scores how closely the caption matches the image, and does the same for the headline if one was provided.
STEP 04Read the match score
Each score reflects how well the caption or headline lines up with what's actually in the photo. The higher the score, the stronger the match.
STEP 05Check the heatmap
The highlighted overlay shows exactly which part of the image the caption or headline draws attention to, so you can see where it lines up or falls short.
Getting the clearest read
If both a caption and headline are scored, compare their heatmaps side by side. A mismatch between the two often points to where the story and the image diverge.
