Twitter says it’s expanding the new voice tweets feature to more users on iOS and is working to add transcriptions to improve accessibility.

The social media company first launched voice tweets in June and they worked more or less as you’d expect. People could post a tweet with an attached recording of them speaking. However, there’s currently no way to see captions or transcriptions of the audio, which essentially locks people with hearing impairments out of voice tweets.

We’re rolling out voice Tweets to more of you on iOS so we can keep learning about how people use audio.

Since introducing the feature in June, we've taken your feedback seriously and are working to have transcription available to make voice Tweets more accessible. (1/2)
