Describe That Claude v5.2 turns one photo, screenshot, or PDF into a full structured report, not a caption. Free with your Anthropic API key. Every person is profiled in depth, and every object, vehicle, animal, structure, and sign is catalogued with its own attributes, position, and condition. Version 5.2 rebuilds the report around what a reader actually needs: the image you submitted now sits at the top, so every conclusion can be checked against the evidence it came from, and the tokens used and the cost of the analysis are set out as large figures instead of buried in the app header where they never reached the exported PDF. Where a picture holds more subjects than one report can cover, people, vehicles, and signage come first, and the report says how many it found and how many it profiled. Now with full multilingual support: run Describe That in English, German, or any language your browser displays, with a smooth, stable experience from start to finish. The underlying models read text in 100+ languages, so a document or screenshot in any of them can be analyzed, and the report itself can be read in your own language. Analysis runs on Claude Sonnet 5, and a typical image costs about 10 cents in API usage with no subscription required. It runs entirely in your browser with no install needed, one of the free AI tools from Iacoletti Software alongside Movie Maker Edit.
