Mary, I can confirm, that so far, making the change in tweetings look and feel/ in line images to thumbnail has not had any negative annoying consequences, such as hearing image, image, image. Everything sounds the same as it did before, except when someone has added an image description it is read out in my timeline. It is read out as a separate item flicked to. For example, If I am flicking left through my timeline, reading from oldest to newest, I will flick to an image description. All I hear is VO read out the description and VO does not say image description or anything like that. I only hear what alt text was added. Then when I flick left VO Reads out the tweet of the person who posted the image. Of course, this will be in reverse if you are flicking right from newest to oldest. The Tweet of the sender will be read then the image described will be read next. I hope that helps and not confuses. I confirmed with sighted help, that all of the other inline photos without alt text seem to be ignored by VO when flicking through the timeline. I hope you have as good of an experience as I have. Of course, it’s been less than 24 hours since I changed this setting but so far so good. :)
