That's disapointing. But it worked once and did very well. I sent this picture http://www.sofoot.com/IMG/img-le-regard-perdu-1460478703_580... and it said "I think it is a football player on the field and he looks :(". He didn't mistake the football player with a rugby player, a cricket player or else. And +1 for the emoji

I uploaded a photograph of a bunch of snow piled on top of a round table[0], which looks a lot like a marshmallow to the human eye. But it came back with "I am not really confident, but I think it looks like a polar bear lying in the snow." Not terrible :) [0] http://imgur.com/nKRK5hc

Android users: do you get a lack of memory/resources error when you try to take a pic instead of selecting from gallery? It is a silly bug where the camera activity kills the browser activity that called it. Google: we cannot move forward with 'Progressive Webapps' if you guys don't fix these silly bugs. Take-picture-do-something is a common feature of webapps like here Mr CaptionBot!!

Nope.

I have a bunch of tabs open which included a video (~30minutes)

My lab is trying to do something similar for answering questions about images. We have a significantly better system than the current system that's online, but we haven't had a chance to update it yet: http://askimage.org

It is far from perfect, but is near state-of-the-art. I'm guessing it won't hold up to HN.

It says "any image" but I think they really mean "any photograph", based on the samples as well as the stuff I uploaded to it.

I had to share this one, I sent a screenshot of the Yahoo homepage from a while ago (yeah, I had that hanging around...) with the main image being of Donald Trump. The caption guess was "I am not really confident, but I think it's a television screen and he seems ."

Did you know that television screens are not only alive, but male?
