I'm happy to help! The Tab key is used to jump to interactive objects on the Focus Order. Interactive objects are buttons, hotspots, graphics, etc. To navigate to text, you'll use the arrow keys, specifically the up and down arrows. The right and left arrows will read each letter individually.
I've published your project on my end and used NVDA as the screen reader. Here's a quick 2-minute video where I've explained how to move through the course.
Piggybacking on this, is there a way to not go through all the buttons and tabs and especially what's related to the browser (security certificate, URL bar) when using Focus order? OR is there a way to "go back"? My issue is that if you miss your first "target", you then have to press Tab an insane number of tabs just to go back to that first object you missed. It's very frustrating for the user.
The way to go back is shift+tab. There should also be an option to skip the browser pieces when tabbing, Storyline 3 and 360 should insert this automatically.
Hi! Sorry I went MIA! Shift+tab does work so that's good news! Is the option you're talking about "Disable skip navigation shortcut", in the Player settings?

Let me know if you have additional questions!
Thanks a lot for addressing my query, Lauren.

Hello Marianick,
The 'Back to Top' button will skip over the player navigation controls so that you can continue focusing on the slide if needed:
