TikTok rolls out new accessibility tools, including AI-generated ALT text


TikTok announced on Wednesday that it's expanding its suite of accessibility tools by rolling out AI-generated ALT text for photos, a high contrast mode,

The company says AI-generated ALT text will make TikTok more accessible for people with visual impairments. “We know that when people feel seen, heard, and supported, they’re empowered to share their stories, create and connect with others in meaningful ways,” the company said in a blog post. “That’s why we’re focused on continuously building products that serve everyone.” We see accessibility not just as a responsibility, but as an opportunity to innovate and foster a more inclusive platform for our global community.”
