Field notes
The Reader can use structure tags embedded by a PDF’s author or infer structure when those tags are absent, with a switch to compare the two. The page says OCR and image descriptions run on Chrome’s on-device model and are labelled as machine-generated; it also distinguishes missing image descriptions from generated ones. A Firefox listing is not yet available, though the page says a build can be loaded from source.
