Internet Memes Accessible to Visually Impaired

A new
technology developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University automatically
identifies memes and applies pre-written templates to add descriptive alt text
and making them intelligible via existing assistive technologies for the
visually impaired. With a conventional screen reader software it is not
possible for visually impaired to read memes. Memes are images that are copied
and then overlaid with slight variations of text.
