[Athen] AI tool question

[Deborah Armstrong via athen-list]

Has anyone found a tool that will automatically describe all pictures in a word document or PDF, such as a class handout, a slide ceck or a textbook chapter?
I know JAWS has a great picture smart AI feature that lets you locate a graphic on a web page or in a document and have it thoroughly described, but the user has to locate the picture, focus on it, and hit the right keystrokes.
And users of other screen readers can download the free Be My Eyes app for Windows to do the same thing.
A variety of iPhone and Android apps also describe pictures and scenes for the visually impaired including Seeing AI, Lookout, Speak-A-Boo, Focus Assist and and Be My Eyes. And of course the Meta smart glasses are super for this as well if properly prompted.
But I know of no tool that has automated this for an entire document.
It would be so cool if such a tool existed.
