Have you ever helped people use their computers by talking to them over the phone, without seeing their screen? It can be frustrating if they tell you mostly irrelevant details that bury the important stuff.

This is the major problem with image description by AI. AI has no idea why the image was posted, so it gives irrelevant details.

Human-written image descriptions are much better at communicating an image's purpose.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I have a question! You mention that there's a distinction between camel case and pascal case in programming, but that on social media we really don't need to be this granular (I agree).

My question is: suppose I've got hardwired muscle memory to use
#camelCase with a lowercase first word. Are screen readers going to mess up if I do that on accident? Does it matter? Does #camelCase and #CamelCase read different?

Thx.

As far as I know it works fine as long as you use a capital for each subsequent word. For example if there are three or more words in a single hashtag, the second, third etc words have to all start with a capital.

The capital (upper case) is what tells the screen reader app to treat it as a new word.
