   Run Linux, post on the fediverse, and care about accessibility?

   You need Frog.

   https://github.com/TenderOwl/Frog#readme

   Frog extracts text from images.

   Use it to copy and paste the text in images into your image descriptions and help make the fediverse more inclusive.

     @cmyrland It’s not really a replacement for a human being explaining what is in the image to another human being. But it is a useful tool when your image contains the text.

     @aral
     So Frog should actually be an integrated part of the Fediverse, either at server or client level. As soon as I upload an image with text, Frog should run and add alt text automagically.
