Alt text, or image descriptions, offer context for people using screen readers, who might be Blind or low-vision.

Twitter has rolled out an improved and simplified ALT Badge for all its users. It offers descriptions for images that users embed in their Tweets. The network won't rely on auto-generated text.

ALT badges allow for text descriptions on images.

Twitter has made changes to make itself more accessible to those who are blind or have problems with their vision. The change means that images will now have an ALT badge when they have descriptive text attached, making it easier to discern which of them have been made more accessible.

Twitter now provides an ALT badge that will help feature accessibility for image descriptions on social media.

Twitter has made improvements to its image descriptions and made it easier to add them and access them. It’s part of the platform’s attempts to be more accessible to users with disabilities.

Now, alt text image descriptions -- an accessibility practice -- are more visible on Twitter than ever.
