Here are my 2 most overlooked #Mastodon Alt-Text features!

Only found them by coincidence ;)

1️⃣ In "/settings/preferences/appearance" under "Advanced settings" you can find the option to "Warn me before posting media without #alt text"

You can see the error message I see whenever I forget #alttext in the second image hehe

2️⃣ When you post an image with text in it, you can simply use the magic #AI feature "Add text from image". It usually works very well!

#Accessibility #Guide #Fediverse

Screenshot of the advanced settings in /settings/preferences/appearance. The setting "Warn me before posting media without alt text" is checked and circled in red.
Screenshot of the warning you get with the warning for missing alt enabled. "Add alt text? Your post contains media without alt text. Adding descriptions helps make your content accessible to more people." Below it are 3 buttons "Cancel" "Post anyway" and "Add alt text".
Screenshot of the alt text window, the option "Add text from image" is circled in red. This is how that "AI" option described the text of the image I posted: "Describe this for people with visual impairments. 1500 Add text from image"

One highlight of the new Masto #update many people missed:

You can now even add Alt-Text to your profile & banner images!

A feature only very few apps have!

Step 1 "click edit profile" of a visual guide on how to add alt text to the images of a Mastdon profile step by step. A screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 1 pointing at the edit profile button.
Step 2 "edit profile", a screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 2 pointing at the profile and banner image buttons.
Step 3 "edit alt text" of a visual guide on how to add alt text to the images of a Mastdon profile step by step. A screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 3 next to the "Edit alt text" button.
Step 4 "edit alt text and press done", a screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 4 next to the input field and a red arrow pointing at the done button. Next to the done button is a red cheering stick man with raised arms and above the "Done" is a red X.
