How to Make Your Tweets More Accessible to the Blind
Your Twitter feed is probably littered with photos. Photos, videos, and GIFs can add a lot to a tweet, but can upset the visually impaired who can’t see them.
Twitter user @_Red_Long points out that you can actually activate a Twitter setting that gives those who can’t see the image a short description of what’s there. To include it in your tweets, you just need to activate it.
To do this, click on your icon in the Twitter app and then select “Settings & Privacy” from the drop-down menu. From there select Accessibility.
The first session of the Accessibility Menu is the section for Vision. Check the box next to Compose Image Descriptions to enable this feature.
Now when you post an image, you will be given the option to add its description to your post. If you think the image is adding to the tweet (which has obviously been happening since you added it) then fill in the description for a second so everyone will like it.
