Do you use Twitter? Do you use it for work? If so, there are some key actions you can take to ensure that the content you’re tweeting is accessible. Check out our tips: Twitter
- Put your 800 number in bio line
- Put prefixes before tweets (PIC, VIDEO, AUDIO, etc.) so that a screen reader users know what to expect.
- If linking to photo, video or audio, provide a description before hand in order to provide context
- Place hashtags, mentions, and links at the end of tweet (and not too many of these, please!)
- Use “CamelCase” for multiword hashtags (use #AccessibleDocs not #accessibledocs) so screen readers don’t run the words together.
- Test your content with a screen reader!
