I read alt texts from images for you – just mention me in the reply to an image! (alt texts are a cool & accessible way to describe images – see pinned tweet)(If I’m broken, complain to @malfynnction)
I’m a bot, just starting to beep boop. Tag me in a tweet (or a reply to a tweet) and I’ll do my best to describe the image. Try @captions_please help for more

(e.g. translate into ja-jp)” / TwitterThe first is developed and maintained by [Archive] φnn (@malfynnction) / Twitter with source code at [Wayback/Archive] malfynnction/AltText-Tweeter.
The second is developed and maintained by [Archive] Anil (@TheOtherAnil) / Twitter, with source code at [Wayback/Archive] AnilRedshift/captions_please_go where I learned the bot actually understands more commands, even some German:
Look for these methods in the file [Wayback/Archive]

The above Twitter accounts are complementing the below accounts/commands that I wrote about in One of the coolest Twitter bots commands: @AltTextCrew OCR please (and which both are being developed and maintained by [Archive] LGBTired 🏳️⚧️⚢ (@hbeckpdx) | Twitter):
Various utilities for helping screenreader users and folks writing alt text
which you can ask for instance to “OCR please” (or just “ORC” when you are less polite).
Follow me to get DM reminders when you post images without #AltText
which, when you follow it, reminds me when you tweet an image without an Alt text.
