I am using Windows 11 24h2 and nvda 2025.3. Could someone recommend an addon to read images with AI description?
I already have tried AI Content Describer and Cloud Vision. AI Content Describer most of time shows errors that it cannot describe or network error in spite of having internet connection.
The problem with cloud vision is that description is sometimes broken and not accurate. Moreover, it only has the option to describe the entire screen. If I want to read a description of the current focused image, I cannot do that.
So, please recommend something else.

While can't really help in terms of them both relying on online interpretation, the keystrokes/functionality mentioned in cloud vision's help relate to a lot more than just describing full screen:

• NVDA+CTRL+I - get a description of the navigator object or jpg/png file if it is in focus in Windows explorer. If you press twice quickly, the result will appear in the virtual viewer, you can read with arrows, select, copy, and so on;
• NVDA+ALT+F - recognize full screen;
• NVDA+ALT+W - recognize the active Window;
• NVDA+ALT+C - recognize an image from the clipboard;
• NVDA+ALT+A - ask a question to bot about the last recognized image;
• Analyze object with Mathpix (for mathematical formulas) - the combination is not assigned, you can assign it yourself in the input gestures;
• Copy the last recognized result to the clipboard - the combination is not assigned, you can assign it yourself in the input gestures;
• NVDA+ALT+P - switching prompts (briefly, in detail, your own).

Thank you. I do not want to download image to read its description. Isn't it possible to focus and describe it instead of describing the entire screen or window?

The network error is not due to AI Content Describer itself.  I have sometimes received an error when using Pollinations, probably due to their server being down.  It is also worth extending the default timeout, as the robots sometimes take longer than that to write the description.

Hi Farhan

You don’t need to download it for a description, just use the shortcut for the navigator object.

Sean.

Have you tried integrating “Be My Eyes” with “CloudVision” to see if it makes any difference?

Best wishes,

Snehashish!
