WCAG 1.4.9 Images of Text (No Exception) is a Level AAA accessibility criterion requiring real text instead of images of text, with exceptions only for essential visual presentations or branding. The guideline benefits users with low vision, visual tracking difficulties, and cognitive disabilities. Testing approaches include automated tools for quick detection, AI-based methods for intelligent analysis, and manual testing for contextual judgment. A combined approach using all three methods provides the most comprehensive and effective testing strategy.
