Twitter said in a statement that not all photo descriptions can be heard. For this first add image description before tweeting using image description reminder facility. A screen reader software developed for the visually impaired will read the description given by the tweeter.
This method is basically known as 'Alternative Text' or 'Alt Text'. It allows the content of the image to be written, which can be read by 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.

This facility, suitable for use on mobile phones as well as computers, will be launched gradually for Twitter users in all countries of the world.
