This bot will probably stop working next week. It's been a long time coming at this point, but I'm still disappointed. Thanks to everyone who helped make this hellsite more accessible! ❤️

We’ve been talking about it. You’ve been asking for it. We’ve been working on it. Today, we launched it: the image description reminder! It’s live to 10% of global Twitter across Android, iOS, and Web. 🧵 (1 of 6)

Looks like I finally became obsolete 🥳 I’ll stick around for now, but you should be able to check alt text without me now!

Do you want your twitter to be an accessible space but sometimes still forget about adding alt text to pictures? @HBeckPDX built this cool bot that will message you if you tweet an image without a description! 😻👇🏻

Sorry everyone, this account got locked because someone asked it to read an alt text with abusive language in it. I'm not sure how to deal with this if it happens more frequently, but for now I deleted the according tweets and the bot should be working again.

The issue has been resolved, so the bot should be working again! 🎉 However, it is no longer allowed to @ mention the original poster of the image when they didn't provide alt text. 😬 It will also no longer send "Sorry, I can't find any images!" to avoid spamming.

Hey everyone, I am currently restricted from answering to tweets. I've contacted Twitter support and am trying to fix this issue, but until then I won't be able to read alt text for you. :( I'll let you know when it's resolved!

Mention me in a tweet with an image or in a reply to a tweet with an image and I will read that image's alt text for you. Alt texts make your tweets more accessible by providing (hidden) image descriptions - here's the official twitter tutorial for that:
