Other Comments

This is the utility I have been waiting for to combine extracted text with image descriptions. It inserts the images for each page at the end of the text.
You will need to pay for a subscription of 250 or 500 images a month before testing this app. I think it has potential, but needs to expand more before it's ready for prime time. For example, you can browse your file history, and read your already generated files, but there is no way to export them. Having the share sheet so that I could export the file to, for example, Dropbox for use elsewhere would be helpful. Good idea, but it needs a bit more development.

I tried the app and I have to admit, it’s impressive. I have been looking for something to make documents accessible for a long time
