      Food for thought—you can make your tweets accessible to blind Twitter users by including a text transcript for images. https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/picture-descriptions … After you activate the setting (Settings → Accessibility → Compose image descriptions), you can use this feature. And it helps.

      I don’t feel this was particularly necessary here – both my tweet and the link contain everything that’s needed in text.

      Just to put this out there—if the information in the image wasn’t necessary to getting the most enjoyment out of your tweet, you wouldn’t have attached the image in the first place, eh?

      Not necessarily. I included the image first, and then decided to paste the text inside. Kept the image more for extra visual context if you click through, and because I felt there was no harm.

      Now, I’m going to throw the ball over to you. :·) Would you mind contacting Twitter and suggesting they automatically OCR text in images or provide a more forceful description prompt if they detect text? This way this can be solved en masse…

      For what it’s worth, modern OCR of tends to work best when the source is 150+ dpi. At the 72 dpi of the web, there’d be far too many errors to be useful. :( (If you’d like something more assertive—if you follow @PleaseCaption, it’ll remind you if you leave off a description.)

      I did, thanks! That seems great. BTW 72dpi is no longer true. With retina screenshots and bigger font sizes it can really be more than 150dpi – I believe even with the text I pasted, not to mention some memes. :·)

          I ran the above screenshot through my obsolete OCR engine in DevonThink. It came out flawless with the exception of curly quotes. :·D

          And you’re quite right that Retina displays can exceed 72 dpi. But for better or for worse, most average Twitter users don’t have Retina displays yet. Maybe someday, though.
