RE: For survey: 1.4.5 Images of Text, problematic for closed

Not according to the Intent for 1.4.5 Images of Text<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/images-of-text.html#intent>. If the intent was to voice, the alt text containing the text in the image would suffice.

Best regards,

Programmatic does not relate to changing the appearance. It has to do with being accessible to AT. The AT might change the appearance but it could also just voicei it or sign it or anything else g On Feb 23, 2024, at 5: 38 PM, Mitchell Evan

Hi Mary Jo,

Can we please survey the following options? I believe these capture the range of options that we discussed in our breakout call today.
Option 6: like option 5, responding to Jon Avila’s comments in issue 276
1.4.5 Images of Text—Requires text in a programmatically determinable form, rather than images of text, so that users could customize the text visually.
Option 7: like Mary Jo’s option 4; edited for brevity
1.4.5 Images of Text—Requires text for high-quality modification of displayed text (e.g. high contrast, increase of font size). Where other mechanisms achieve equivalent results, the intent of this success criterion would be met.
Option 8: defer discussion
Defer discussion on 1.4.5 Images of Text until we have first decided on 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value. Both criteria normatively rely on programmatic information.
