beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

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 mastodon.social/@fatbrit/11421 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.

:neuro: Pixy's Journey :v_bi:

@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) :)
