Have you ever opened up a presentation or document and realized that half the information was hidden behind an unrecognizable graphic or image?

No one thought to include a description. Perhaps there was a chart or photo with essential details, but no one remembered to include one.

Microsoft is working on a solution to prevent such situations from ever occurring, particularly among individuals with accessibility needs.

Windows 11 is currently testing an AI feature called "Describe Image," which utilizes AI built directly into your computer's hardware.

Copilot+ PCs feature AI directly integrated into their computer's Click to Do Menu, offering the Describe image option that provides detailed explanation of any image, chart or graph you may be viewing. Simply clicking it will generate this response for any clickable item in your current viewport.

On your initial try, your computer will create the AI models needed for this process and it will run locally without sending images or data outward; descriptions remain confidentially stored within your own machine.

Windows Insiders with Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon are currently receiving this update; AMD and Intel Copilot+ computers should follow soon.

At first, this may not seem like an enormously significant accomplishment; but imagine if a teammate with visual impairment could understand a complex chart immediately without needing someone to explain it first!

Imagine an office worker quickly scanning through a report to get an overview of its images without opening another app or having to track down someone for clarification.

Microsoft strives to make technology better for everyone by breaking down barriers and helping individuals become more productive.

Accessibility features should go beyond simply meeting regulations - they have the power to improve people's daily work lives and should therefore be provided at no additional cost.

Your employees will feel more included and be better able to perform their duties if they can easily access information, making the employee experience better while improving business operations overall. It's good for both employees and your company!

Windows 11 continues to quietly add thoughtful enhancements, with Describe Image representing yet another step toward technology that serves people instead of being designed around them.
