NVDA Use
Thank you! I will definitely look into the NVDA shortcuts and watch the webinar.
Am I doing all of the right things in Storyline?
- -Setting the focus order on every slide
- -Removing all decorative or unnecessary elements from the focus order
- -Adding "set focus" triggers to any slide with layers (targeted at the first item in the focus order for each layer)
Should I add "set focus" triggers to every slide as well?
Yes, I think you are on the right track.
With layers, you don't always need to set the focus trigger. It depends on the layer properties. If the layer is exclusive (prevent user from accessing Base), you generally don't need to set a focus trigger.
If the layer is not exclusive (user can still interact with the Base), you only need to set a focus trigger in circumstances where the defined focus order of the layer deviates from the natural reading order, or, there are other elements on the layer you need to by-pass and set focus to a specific element on that layer.
Try where you can, with non-exclusive layers, to position them in the focus order so that the natural reading order will handle it. For example, I select a button, that reveals further text in a layer, I would just make sure that layer is directly after the button in the focus order.
For exclusive layers, you just need to ensure the focus order is correct in the layer.
