Facebook AccessibilityUsing Facebook’s object recognition technology, automatic impaired people using screen readers on iOS devices will hear a photo described to them with more context. For instance, Facebook says its artificial intelligence system can even provide such detail as: "Image may contain two people, smiling, sunglasses, sky, outdoor, water."
The update is a huge step up from the previous experience, which would say the name of the person who shared a photo and the word "photo" without adding more context. The object recognition technology is based on a neural network, which is a computer system modeled after the human brain that gets smarter as it processes more information. Facebook's neural network has billions of parameters and millions of examples, according to the company. The new audio photo captions will begin with describing the number of people in a photo, whether they are smiling and then lists each object detected in the photo, ordered by the algorithm's confidence in what it is seeing. The image's properties, such as whether its indoors, a selfie or a meme, will be announced at the end of the description. However, it's not perfect and will continue to learn, the company said, noting that for now, Facebook's automatic alternative text will begin with the words "image may contain" to convey uncertainty. The experience is currently only available on iOS devices and in English. However, Facebook plans to add the automatic alternative text option to other platforms in the future with plans to support more languages. impaired people using screen readers on iOS devices will hear a photo described to them with more context.
