From now on Twitter can also be used by visually impaired people

From now on the popular social media Twitter can be used by visually impaired people. Twitter has brought a special feature 'Image Description Reminder' for them. Through this, the description of the image accompanying the tweet can be heard through the screen reader software.


This method is called 'Alternative Text' or 'Alt Text'. It can write the content of the image, which can be heard through the screen reader software. As a result, even if you don't see it with your eyes, you get an opportunity to know about the content of the picture. As a result, this feature will be useful not only for those who cannot see, but also in areas where the internet speed is very low.


This facility is available on desktop as well as smartphones. However, users in all countries of the world are not getting this feature. Twitter said that it will be launched in all countries gradually. However, not all pictures can be described. That's why you should first add a description of the image before tweeting with the help of Image Description Reminder. Screen reader software will read the description given by the tweeter to visually impaired people.

Tweets can also be shared directly on WhatsApp or Instagram. The social media is becoming more popular with users day by day for one great feature after another.
