So if you’re using Mastodon on the web, you can press the ALT button and then follow the “Detect text from picture” link.
On Mac/iOS, you can select text on images as if they were text by clicking/tapping and dragging and paste that in (might be more accurate; that’s what I did).
PS. This was meant to be a reply to https://mastodon.social/@fatbrit/114215995914155838 but somehow didn’t get threaded correctly (was using the web client instead of Mona. I somehow manage to do that there sometimes. Has happened before.) :)
@aral
Good tip.
But... Was it your intention to share the image without adding alt text?
@PixysJourney Haha, yeah, forgot. And also, it’s meant to be a reply but somehow didn’t get threaded (I don’t use the web interface often); I’m mostly on Mona.
@aral
Hihi no worries. It made me giggle to read a Toot about adding alt text adding, and then it not having any alt text itself.
Hopefully you can get it sorted. Yay for the edit options!
@PixysJourney Haha, yeah. Already sorted (caught it some seconds after sending it but you were faster) :)
