I'm not up on the state of screen readers, do any of them look at the EXIF data? I don't think that would be a good solution and am not sure how big a comment can be, but I could be wrong.

That's a great idea. I'm not sure about screen reader support, but it's definitely feasible to put the raw text of a post into the metadata for an image.

We would also have to check whether Twitter preserves this data when it's uploaded with a tweet.
