Hello list,
So maybe itâs been around for a bit, but I barely noticed it first on the FB
iOS app and now while browsing FB on my PC with Firefox and Chrome, but it
looks like VoiceOver and Jaws at least are reading the included text in
image postings. I know one could always add the alt text, but at least for
the few memes and pictures my friendâs and family are posting, I donât have
to do anything special. The text is simply being read. In iOS it was kind of
a hassle since you had to first save the picture to your camera roll then
navigate to the photos app then use the Seeing AI app to recognize text only
to find out that the picture you saved was just of someoneâs dog with the
word woof on it or something like that. Jaws was way more hit and miss if
you were lucky.
Is anyone else seeing this as the saying goes or have I been in the dark and
this is simply old news?
