Description from store
Caption Crawler is a browser extension that adds captions to images that do not have any. It is intended to be used by screen-reader users. The added captions are retrieved from other web pages containing the same image. When there is more than one available caption, they may be navigated via keyboard commands. This extension is a research project from the Ability Group at Microsoft Research.

- I don't like that if a web author has used a null alt (alt=""), this extension adds information anyway. A null alt is not a missing alt. It should leave these alone and only act when there is a missing alt attribute. Great tool though.

- I like this Extension and I guess this will be helpful to developers who design the Webpages on the go and can run this extension to see the errors and fix them accordingly before deploying to the production. I like the feature that even if the developer fails to provide an alt it looks for the same image in other webpages and provides the alt to the screen reader user.
