Accessibility - Screen Readers and TTS
Hi, I'm currently completing an apprenticeship in Digital Learning Design, and I'm working through some content on accessibility.
Previously, all our storyline courses had text-to-speech added on, ...
I would leave the audio in as that provides learners more options.
However, to make it a fully accessible experience, the audio would need to be turned off by default. As far as I know, Storyline does not have a simple option to turn the audio off by default so you'd need to set up a mechanism where the learner can turn audio on/off when a slide begins. My team is bound by federal and state regulations that require we comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA so it is a must for us. Just something to consider as you work with audio, screen readers, and accessibility.
