💬 “Use HTML.”

Why HTML? Because HTML already has accessibility baked in.

Another habit I’ve picked up is capitalising every word when tagging.
I read somewhere that it helps screen readers to differentiate words, and not run them together into one big nonsense word. #AccessibilityTips

Then the next thing: hashtags and separating words with a Capital Letter.
Screenreaders often just blurt out the letters, making the rest of the hashtag just alphabet gurgle.
Write each starting word with a big letter: eg. #AccessibilityTips.

Capitalize each new word to make your hashtags easier to read, and follow this account for other helpful #AccessibilityTips
In hashtags, it helps if each new word starts with a capital letter. Otherwise, sighted users could see a string of letters and not immediately know where one word ends and a new word begins. Capitalized words also help screen readers properly read out the hashtag.

The role="presentation" attribute strips an HTML element of its default semantics, rendering it similar to a div or span. This is helpful when an element is employed solely for controlling presentation or layout, or when its native semantics aren't suitable. #accessibilitytips
