Suggestion here: how about having a basic screen reader function on Articulate Review? That would help a lot :)
- Hi Jean-Christophe,
The problem with that idea is that screen readers often have different ways of interpreting the code behind the scenes and different ways of announcing or reading the content. I have found that some things work fine with NVDA but not JAWS, and vice versa. Providing a basic screen reader function, one that learners won't be using and that course authors might be tempted to rely on for all of their testing, could result in courses that have accessibility problems that the author doesn't know about. JAWS is licensed and expensive, but NVDA is free. I recommend simply downloading and using NVDA, at least.
