We analytically study the optical appearance of an isotropically emitter orbiting near the horizon of a near-extremely rotating Kerr-Sen (KS) black hole which is an electrically charged black hole arising in heterotic string theory. We study the influence of the Sen charge on the observational quantities, including the image position, flux and redshift factor. Moreover, we compare the results with those for a near-extremal Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole, which is the charged rotating black hole in general relativity. We find quantitative corrections of the signatures of these charged black holes (both KS and KN) compare to that of a neutral Kerr black hole. This may serve as distinctive features of different black holes for future tests by the Event Horizon Telescope.
