* Tweet: this button opens up a dialogue box to write your tweet. Normal tweets must not exceed 140 characters. However you can press the long tweet checkbox and your tweet will be posted throught Twishort, wich will allow you to write longer tweets (10000 characters). If you write past this limit, a sound will play to warn you. Note that the character count is displayed in the title bar. You may use the shorten and expand URL buttons to comply with the character limit. You can upload a picture, check spelling, attach audio or translate your message by selecting one of the available buttons in the dialogue box. In addition, you can autocomplete the entering of users by pressing Alt + C or the button for that purpose if you have the database of users configured. Press enter to send the tweet. If all goes well, you'll hear a sound confirming it. Otherwise, the screen reader will speak an error message in English describing the problem.

* Retweet: this button retweets the message you're reading. After you press it, if you haven't configured the application not to do so, you'll be asked if you want to add a comment or simply send it as written. If you choose to add a comment, it will post a quoted tweet, that is, the comment with a link to the originating tweet.
* Reply: when you're viewing a tweet, you can reply to the user who sent it by pressing this button. A dialogue will open up similar to the one for tweeting. If there are more users referred to in the tweet, you can press tab and activate the mention to all checkbox, or enabling checkbox for the users you want to mention separately. When you're on the friends or followers lists, the button will be called mention instead.
* Direct message: exactly like sending a tweet, but it's a private message which can only be read by the user you send it to. Press shift-tab twice to see the recipient. If there were other users mentioned in the tweet you were reading, you can arrow up or down to choose which one to send it to, or write the username yourself without the at sign. In addition, you can autocomplete the entering of users by pressing Alt + C or the button for that purpose if you have the database of users configured.
