You can add a number of Twitter bot checking tools to your browser. Two of the most widely used are:
Botcheck.me – This is a plugin for Chrome browsers
Adding Botcheck allows you to check the likelihood that an account is a bot when you are on Twitter. With botcheck.me installed, a bot icon will appear within each account.
