It says, “Keep your alt text fewer than 125 characters. Screen-reading tools typically stop reading alt text at this point, cutting off long-winded alt text at awkward moments when verbalizing this description for the visually impaired.”

Is this true for the #AltText we add for the images on Mastodon?

I'm afraid I do not know at what point screen readers stop.

AltText gives such a big space for description, I had no idea that some screen readers stop reading after 125 characters. In any case, I’ll do my best to write the most important part first.
