Accessibility - Screen reader doesn't read the alt text provided for an interactive element.

Mar 14, 2023

Hi,

Attached story file consists of a screen (the actual course consists of over 50 slides) having an oval shape with trigger to open a layer. When using NVDA, it doesn't read the alt text for oval rather it just reads "button". 

Tazeem.

Hi Info ZB,

Good news! I found out why the alt text wasn't being read on your button! The normal state for Oval 1 has the "Object is visible to accessibility tools" box deselected. Every state can have its own alt text and choice of whether it's visible to accessibility tools. Here is a peek video showing how to change that setting!

Thanks for reaching out!
