New Face Face Recognition Features

Today we're announcing new face recognition tools that will help people who are visually impaired know more about who's in the photos they encounter on Facebook. Now, people who use screen readers will know who appears in photos in their News Feed even if people aren't tagged.

Two years ago, we launched an automatic alt-text tool, which describes photos to people with vision loss. Face Recognition is another way we're using artificial intelligence to make it easier for all people, regardless of ability, to access Facebook, make connections and have more opportunities.

Check out the demo to learn how the tool works.
