   I've thought about doing this for a while now.
   #AltText is something I advocate for, as well as some other simple ways to make posts more #accessible and #inclusive. Let's make this #interactive.
   Reply with an #image and I'll tell you what my #ScreenReader thinks it shows, as a practical #demonstration of inaccuracies, limitations and why alt text is better.
   Edit on request: Not all screen readers can do image recognition. Alt text is the only viable way to be inclusive. #accessibility #blind

     @hypolite It says: A menu with images of food and text, Detected Document, Possible Text, ]lIa >JL£>JL
     Next time I'm ringing a takeaway I'm going to ask for ]lIa >JL£>JL, once I've figured out how to pronounce it of course. I think the difficulty here is possibly the letters being decorative, which confuses the image recognition.
