Twitter is embracing audio. The social network wants to make its application more accessible, especially to users with disabilities, notably by bolstering its audio features. The latest in line is a new tool providing audio descriptions of charts.

As sound becomes more and more prevalent on social networks, Twitter continues to develop audio tools to enhance its platform and reach more users. Like LinkedIn, the social network has deployed a new tool to support users with disabilities.
