Accessibility - How to tell disabled in a button that is in disabled state?

Feb 26, 2018

Hello,

In Storyline 3, I have a button which is in disabled state, and when I use NVDA or Jaws, I would like the screen reader to tell "The text on my button. Disabled".
I have tried to change alt in disabled state, but it doesn't work.

How can I achieve this?

Hey Ludovic. I'm excited to let you know that we just released update 16 for Storyline 360! It includes new features and fixes - check them all out here.

One of the fixes addresses an issue where the alt text on an object's other states wasn't read by JAWS.

Here’s how you can update Storyline 360 to take advantage of everything the latest release has to offer. Let me know how you make out!

Actually I think there is still a bug (even with the last version of today) :

I have set a button like that:
normal state alt "Chapter 1"
viewed state alt "Chapter 1 viewed "
disabled state alt "Chapter 1 disabled"

When I use the screen reader it always reads "Chapter 1."

If the button is disabled by default, it reads "Chapter 1 disabled" (=>ok)
If I enable it with a trigger, it reads "Chapter 1" (=>ok)
If I click on it it reads "Chapter 1 disabled" (=>not ok) as it should read "Chapter 1 viewed "

If I have done something wrong, please tell me and could you provide a .story file with states working well.
