Alt text for the same background

Hi! 

My Storyline project provides a scenario that demonstrates the feeling of being overwhelmed by responsibilities as a head chef. It emphasizes the importance of trusting your team and delegating tasks to them.

Most of the background images are of the Head Chef's office. The dialog is between the Coach and the Head Chef.

I want to include the following on the first slide:

"The scenario takes place in Head Chef's office. When there is a change, it will be noted."

  • I want to do this so that I don't have to repeat that this takes place in the Head Chef's office in the Focus Order.
  • This is my first Storyline with Accessibility.

Thanks,

Norma

    My recommendation is to use an off-stage text box in the Focus Order that conveys the intended message and remove the image itself from the focus order. To enhance the narrative flow, I’d suggest adding 'the' before 'Head Chef’s' to make it sound more polished. I like to think of any "under the hood" custom alt text as an opportunity to tell the story of the slide.
