Summary
Analyze keywords

Easily see which images include alt text, and read the alt text on Twitter (also supports GIF) and TweetDeck. It's often difficult or cumbersome to tell if images have alternative text on Twitter. Alternative (or alt) text is used to describe images for those who can't see the image, making them more accessible. This extension shows which images are missing alternative text, and displays the alt text below the images when available.

Version 1.3 introduces options to check the text of tweets for potential accessibility issues, giving suggestion on how to avoid those issues.

Version 1.1 introduces an option to hide tweets from accounts using an NFT profile pic.

Note: on TweetDeck descriptions are not displayed in the notifications column or on GIFs.

User reviews
I've used a similar tool that let me know if a tweet had alt text or not and showed the text, but THIS takes it a step further! I was able to enable a feature in it that keeps me from sending a tweet if I have not included alt text/image description. NICELY DONE! I'll be recommending this to others.
