Hey #SocialMediaManagement twitter 👋🏽

When you use custom fonts like this in tweets, bios, and posts, it’s unreadable by a text-to-speech program.

Text-to-speech programs skip over these characters all together and don’t even try to read them. https://twitter.com/immantweets/status/1339258871001604100
I know it looks cool and it’s purely an aesthetic thing, but it’s best practice to stick to using fonts native to platforms and avoid customizing anything that would be read by a screen reader or text-to-speech program.
Tech has a long way to go & no one can be perfect online. But it’s important to make an effort to make social content more accessible so EVERYONE can enjoy it. #InclusiveTwitter
