Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, user input, wherein the user input comprises an indication to perform a function associated with content comprising at least one image; analyzing, using a processor, the at least one image to determine at least one characteristic associated with the at least one image; and providing, based on the analyzing, output describing the at least one characteristic of the at least one image. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (30)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device, user input, wherein the user input comprises an indication to perform a function associated with content comprising at least one image;

analyzing, using a processor, the at least one image to determine at least one characteristic associated with content appearing in the at least one image; and

providing, based on the analyzing, audible natural language output describing the at least one characteristic associated with the content appearing in the at least one image.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises extracting the at least one characteristic from metadata associated with the content.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one image comprises at least one of at least one entity and at least one object.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one characteristic associated with the at least one entity selected from the group consisting of: entity mood, entity ethnicity, entity posture, and entity clothing.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one characteristic associated with the at least one object selected from the group consisting of: object name, object color, object size, and object location.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises origin data associated with the at least one image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises two or more images.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining which of the two or more images is a relevant image, wherein the relevant image is determined based upon the user input.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the providing output comprises providing output associated with the relevant image.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive user input, wherein the user input comprises an indication to perform a function associated with content comprising at least one image;

analyze the at least one image to determine at least one characteristic associated with content appearing in the at least one image; and

providing, based on the analyzing, audible natural language output describing the at least one characteristic associated with the content appearing in the at least one image.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to analyze comprise instructions executable by the processor to extract the at least one characteristic from metadata associated with the content.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one image comprises at least one of at least one entity and at least one object.

13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one characteristic associated with the at least one entity selected from the group consisting of entity mood, entity ethnicity, entity posture, and entity clothing.

14. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one characteristic associated with the at least one object selected from the group consisting of: object name, object color, object size, and object location.

15. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises origin data associated with the at least one image.

16. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the content comprises two or more images.

17. The information handling device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to determine which of the two or more images is a relevant image, wherein the relevant image is determined based upon the user input.

18. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives user input, wherein the user input comprises an indication to perform a function associated with content comprising at least one image;

code that analyzes the at least one image to determine at least one characteristic associated with content appearing in the at least one image; and

code that provides, based on the code that analyzes, natural language audible output describing the at least one characteristic associated with the content appearing in the at least one image.
