Facebook makes blind users' experience more enjoyable using Artificial Intelligence

Facebook has recently made it easier for blind users to share the same experience as the rest of the community of Facebook users by filling in the Photo Blanks. Facebook introduced on Monday April 6, 2016 an automated alt text which is a new tool that helps blind users to visualize the images as they scroll up and down. "There seems to be a general movement towards making technology more accessible. I think people are recognizing the great opportunities. There are close to 250 million people around the world with visual impairments and almost 40 million who are actually blind," Susan Schreiner, an analyst at C4 Trends said for TechNewsWorld.
