Accessibility - NVDA Screenreader and tabbing through objects not working

Nov 17, 2021

Hi, I'm currently working on project to improve the accessibility of a course. However, I am having difficulty testing the changes I made in the tabbing order, as well as navigating through the course with the arrow/tab keys. Some elements are picked up while others aren't for no apparent reason. 

Additionally, the screenreader I am using for testing, NVDA, isn't reading the alternative texts. 

I would be grateful for any tips from the community!

Hello again, Adaeze!

I'm noticing confusion with the custom focus order and layers in your project, and from here, I want one of our support engineers to step in to look closer. I've opened a case on your behalf, but first, I'd like to gather more clues to provide direction for my team to focus on:

  • Could you let us know slide numbers with the elements that you're having navigation issues with?
  • Could you let us know the slides and objects with alternate text that aren't being read? I noticed a couple of objects that didn't have the Object is visible to accessibility tools box checked, which makes them invisible to the screen reader. 

We'll follow up via email shortly!
