Other Comments

Don't expect highly accurate and detailed description. In fact, the app doesn't even allow you to customize the sensitivity and how the recognition results are announced, the voice parameters or repetition interval. It's also considerably old and has not been updated in over seven years. One thing that sets this app aparts from other such object recognition apps, however, is the ability to analyze and describe scenes, albeit not quite accurately but still offline. Overall, it's still a decent app, given it was developed so long ago.
