Getty Keyword Validator (free companion extension)

A small, free browser extension that checks every generated keyword against Getty's real controlled vocabulary before you submit — so fewer keywords get flagged after import.

Troubleshooting (Safari)

Using it

Keep a Getty ESP tab open in the same browser while you generate metadata on this site. If it's working, you'll see "Live keyword validation: detected" on the generator page instead of "not detected."

What this extension does (and doesn't do)

It has no business logic of its own — it's a small relay that lets this website check keyword candidates against Getty ESP's vocabulary using your own signed-in Getty session, open in another tab. It doesn't collect or transmit anything else.
