It's strange they think computers don't have the ability to read text just because it looks fancier.

It's strange they think computers don't have the ability to read text just because it looks fancier.
- ChrisArchitect 3y agoNot computers - humans with accessibility needs, screen readers and such. Someone posting "I'm trying to Tweet on the new 𝕏" will read in audio as "I'm trying to Tweet on the new mathematical symbol x".... think of how any of those fun tweet texts with fancy italicized words made from math symbols read like.... it's brutal
- astrange 3y agoSure, but they should just fix the screen reader instead of working around it.
- simbolit 3y agoThis. Convincing a dozen or so screen reader developers to deal with this is an achievable goal. It is much much much harder to bring millions of twitt...X users to change their typographic habits.
