Annota AI vs Draw Attention

Annota AI combines image annotation, document OCR and review, and AI tools in a web or self-hosted workspace. For images, Magic Select creates an object mask for review and Magic Annotate locates selected labels in an image or dataset. Users can draw and edit bounding boxes and polygons, use segmentation masks, and export images and annotations in COCO format; PNG and JPEG are supported. Document datasets accept PDF, PNG, and JPEG files. OCR extracts content page by page for checking and correction, with exports as a Markdown ZIP or an Obsidian-compatible LLM Wiki workspace. Compatible agents connect through MCP remote servers using Streamable HTTP and OAuth, while organization permissions and shared credits apply. The maker says infrastructure and models run in EU regions without external AI-provider APIs. Plans range from Free at free to Pro at €21.96 a month and Team at €29.28 per member per month; Enterprise pricing is by quote. YOLO training remains private beta and requires separate approval.

Draw Attention is a WordPress plugin for creating interactive image maps. Site owners draw polygon, rectangle, or circle hotspots that visitors can click, tap, or hover over. Hotspots can display text, images, shortcodes, galleries, video, or audio, or direct visitors to another URL. The free edition supports one interactive image. Pro adds six information layouts—tooltip, lightbox, top, bottom, left, and right—and allows unlimited interactive images and clickable areas. The plugin can be inserted with a shortcode, Beaver Builder module, or WordPress Editor Block, and the maker names WPML as a compatible translation plugin. It says image content is available to screen readers, hotspots support keyboard commands, and content remains accessible without JavaScript through an image-map fallback. Plugin data stays in the site owner’s WordPress database; a Pro license key is periodically sent for status checks. Free costs nothing; Pro costs $99 a year for one website or $199 a year for unlimited websites.
