Hi, > Would this technique be sufficient for these particular images and > WCAG guideline, if screen readers can access the hidden text, or is it > required for the text to be visible when images have been disabled? I don't think it is about images being disabled. The technique is suitable for screen readers, but not necessarily for partially sighted users, e.g. when using contrast mode. The problem in your description is using background images, which are often not displayed in contrast mode. So * if the text is displayed in contrast mode, then your code should pass 1.1.1. * if the text is not displayed in contrast mode, then the image must be displayed in contrast mode, i.e. via <img /> or a different CSS technique.
