Thanks for letting me know the descriptive transcript helped you! It’s a perfect example of an accessibility feature for Deafblind people increasing access for others. #CurbCutEffect

Zonet in Gent Sint-Pieters. Een zware, wankele platformlift wordt aangereden, om een persoon in een rolstoel uit de trein te helpen.
Alle begrip en respect voor de betrokken medewerkers, maar ik voel plaatsvervangende schaamte voor hun werkgever.
(Nood aan het Curb Cut Effect.)

Alt text also useful for when you have poor reception and images aren’t loading. You can still get the gist. #CurbCutEffect

The nearest metro station is about a two block walk from my hotel in Prague. BUT…
I just discovered there is an accessible elevator next to my hotel lobby that takes you DIRECTLY TO THE TRACKS! A rather personal use of the #CurbCutEffect, but still proves the effect nonetheless. #INSAR2026

Spannender Artikel über den #CurbCutEffect von @ina-vero.bsky.social für ORF Topos: Wie Erfindungen für mehr Barrierefreiheit allen etwas bringen. Und Andreas Onea kocht Pasta und zeigt, wo die Barrieren in der Küche liegen. Sehenswert!

Ich bin da ja ganz bei dir - meine Antwort diente nur als Ergänzung, dass man nicht mal blind sein muss, um vom Alt Text zu profitieren. #CurbCutEffect

Ich bin sehend, aber zunehmend altersweitsichtig. Ich öffne oft den Alt Text, weil er besser für mich zu lesen ist als ein Screenshot.

I've long advocated against using color as the only signal on web pages, but now that I sometimes use a web browser on a black and white e-ink reader, I really empathize with colorblind folks.
Especially when reading scientific papers and plots only use color to distinguish series 🤦♂️

Single images can be decorative. Lots of them can still give an impression of a product (physical/service/software).
Describe the product in text for those who can't see or understand the pictures. Enable some, support many!

Glad to see effort in #accessibility! It especially will help non-locals. Years ago, before I knew Korean, it was nice for taxis in Korea have phone numbers for multi-lingual interpretation. Now it’s feasible to have visual languages too. #CurbCutEffect, better use of tech than #AI art, and so on…
We’re excited to share that we're piloting Convo Access
for live, free American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation for customer information in select locations!
This mobile app connects you with an on-demand ASL interpreter, so you can chat with an MTA employee about your questions.

Do you ever randomly think that if more people understood the #CurbCutEffect and fewer Boomers & Bros™ had their phones when they’re throwing a tantrum like a toddler at Target (alliteration +4 points) we could have world peace for at least, I dunno, 5 minutes?
