## I just attached a picture to my toot. How can I add a caption to it?

Clicking this will pop up a dialog box that lets you determine what part of the image should show in the preview; it also allows you to set alt-text for the image, which people can read if they mouse over the text, and which screen-readers (such as for the visually-impaired) can read instead of just saying "embedded image".

And if all else fails, there are OCRBots on the fediverse that will reply to your post with a transcription if you @mention them.
