---- Are images with text in alt attribute accessible?

ALT is for the use of screen readers and the advice of people who are browsing with images switched off.

I don't know how search engines rank ALT, TITLE, the page title and other on-page text when indexing an image but even if ALT has no benefit it should not be blanked.
