Microsoft professionals have built an artificial intelligence system that can generate captions for images that are, in many cases, more accurate than the descriptions people write.
Automatic image captioning helps all users access the important content in any image, from a photo returned as a search result to an image included in a presentation. A research breakthrough like this one can improve those results, but of course it does not mean the system will return perfect results each time.
Image captioning is especially important for people who are blind or have low vision. For example, image captioning is used in capability in the Seeing AI talking camera app designed especially for blind/having low vision people. The app uses image captioning to describe photos, including those from social media apps.
The new model is available to customers via the Azure Cognitive Services Computer Vision offering, which is part of Azure AI, enabling developers to use this capability to improve accessibility in their own services. It also is being incorporated into Seeing AI and will be rolling out in Microsoft Word and Outlook, for Windows and Mac, and PowerPoint for Windows, Mac, and web.
