Feature proposal: Accessibility Assistant - text over an image test case

[MihaelN]

Problem: Using the Accessibility Assistant, my team has encountered a scenario where text placed over an image is not being tested for accessibility. It is only testing text against shapes and various objects with a solid color. I understand that there might be technical constraints preventing this feature to be developed as it heavily depends on the information of the image, placement of text, and several other complex conditions, but it is something that is desired and longed for.

Proposal: Add a testing case to the accessibility assistant that will cover the color contrast of text that is placed over an image (raster such as jpg or png or vectors such as SVG and eps).

Thank you for the request, it's something we've seen others asking for, too. Indeed, it's due to technical reasons that Assistants currently don't have access to the rendered context, something we hope to provide in the future.

Thanks for getting back on this, are there any other tools that you might recommend as an intermediate substitution/workaround?

Not 💯 sure they cover this specific use case but if you haven't tried yet:
