This is a very impressive tool. The feature I find most interesting is the ability it gives the user to ask follow up questions to any description provided by the tool. Plus the answers are really elaborate.

Dear Cameron Cundiff I love using your Image Describer extension, but the sound it produces is quite irritating for me. Could you please add an option to mute the sound? This would make the extension much more user-friendly in different environments. Thank you for your understanding! Best regards,
