Accessibility Checker Early Access Sign-up
Hello everyone,
If you've noticed this on the roadmap or seen the demo at DevLearn last November, you know we're building a new Accessibility Checker feature for Storyline 360. The Accessibility Checker will surface potential a11y issues that could prevent some learners from getting the most out of your course. Even better, it will explain why the issue is important to fix, how you can fix it, and, in some cases, it will even fix it for you with a single click!
We've been working hard on this feature for the past several months and are nearly ready to let a small group of customers try it out and provide feedback via our Early Access program. Participants in the Early Access program will be able to use the feature via the Storyline private beta and communicate directly with the engineering team to ask questions and provide feedback that will help shape the final version of the feature.
If you're interested in participating in the Early Access program, please fill out this interest form: https://lnkd.in/eFAPU3KD
NOTE: Not all customers currently in the private beta program will be able to use the Accessibility Checker while it's in Early Access. Once Early Access concludes, the feature will be available to all private beta users for a period of time before being released to everyone.
Thanks,
Ronnie

Hey everyone! The Accessibility Checker feature in Storyline 360 is now available in today's production version.
How's the progress going? If its going to be launched soon it might be best to wait to review our courses for manually accessibility issues.
Hi HVfb0f498d-053b - The Accessibility Checker will be shipping in the next update, which will be later this month. While the accessibility checker offers a practical starting point, no automated tool can guarantee full compliance and conformance with accessibility guidelines. For the most complete results, pair the accessibility checker with manual testing.
I would like to try the beta version if it is possible.

Hi Ronnie_Pilman long time since I've posted something :-) Will try to pick up the pace a bit more. Any news on a tentative release date for the checker? Thanks
Hey MadalinaMano183 - I believe you're a part of the beta program still, right? Next week we will release major updates to the accessibiltiy checker via the beta program. We're getting close to releasing the checker to everyone.
Yes, I'm still in the beta program. I just got a release installed today, so I'll do some tests with the beta version. Great news then 🙂
