Summary

Image Describer uses AI to describe web content for people who are blind or have low vision.

To describe content, use the context menu on a specific image, or the Extension keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+I to describe the full tab contents. The description can be copied to your clipboard through an menu item in the context menu, or through the extension popup or Chrome side panel drawer.

You can also change the voice or mute speech by default using the Extension Options page.

To access the side panel without the mouse, on Mac press Command + Option + Down arrow. On Windows, press F6.

User reviews
This extension is fantastic. I've been using it to help with description for complex images and then refine the output for my team of content creators. If it's ever extended to SVG, would love to test it (unless it's already available and I just haven't figured that out). Thank you for creating this!
