Summary of Issue: Drafting of SC does not convey intent. Not clear.
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
I really could not understand  the significance of \" When the accessibility supported technologies being used can achieve the visual presentation,\" for the SC 1.4.5 and believe the drafting of the entire SC and the list items in the exceptions can be improved. I had to refer to the \"Understanding\" and \"How to\" docs to grasp the intent of the SC. 

Proposed Change:
So here is an alternative draft for 1.4.5 for your consideration:



Information should be conveyed by text and not via an image of the text especially When the accessibility-supported technology in use is capable of generating ( or can be configured to generate) various visual presentations.  

Except where:

- The image of the text can be visually customized by the user to meet viewing preferences;

- It is necessary to preserve a particular presentation of text for the content.
