Auditing Without Sight

Here is one for you guys and gals. I have not been able to find a way around this, but to use a sighted person to eye-ball those success criteria for me on a page.

1.4.3 - Contrast (Minimum) Level AA
Besides the WAVE toolbar, how can a blind person identify this SC?


1.4.4 - Resize Text
How can I tell that the text can be resized to 200% without a loss of content or function?


1.4.5 - Images of Text
That's a royal one.

2.4.7 - Focus Visible
How can you tell if the focus around links and buttons is that of the browser default?

Currently, I have not had any success but to ask my teammate to eye-ball those SCs for the WCAG evaluation. It would be nice to do them myself. Anyone figured out a way on how to evaluate those visual ones?
