Azure Trial Hackathon - Azura - Yes Azura!

## Overview of the Project
This is an extension just like those we put on our browsers and also a sort of searching tool, that takes an Image URL as input and processes it using Microsoft Azure's Computer vision and describes what the image is about. This is basically a tool that exists to describe the one use of Computer vision.

Live demo 🌏

If we put an image URL of a doggo in the search section and click on search.

happy Doggo

We will see the following result :)

But do check the extension as well with even better user experience and with text to speech feature that reads out the description of the image. The whole guide on how to use this as extension is on Github (and it's ez!).

Awesome work. While azure analyses the pic, there is no loading indicator. I got confused for a second. maybe have the submit button disappear and turn into a loader once a link is submitted so u avoid the user resubmitting multiple times.

Brilliant idea! I also had it, but sadly I'm a beginner 😅, and I'm really working on some loading thingy. Thanks for trying it :)
