Freeform "Pick One" Vs NVDA Screen Reader

May 05, 2020

Hello,

I was testing a course I built using the NVDA screen reader, and discovered a quirk when I tabbed on the "correct" choice interactive button: after it read my custom alternative text, the screen reader added the phrase "Radio Button Checked"! This unfortunately gives away the answer. How can I go about editing that phrase out?

Thanks,

Pierre

Hi Pierre!

I'm happy to help! When you tab to the first radio button you should hear "Radio Button Checked" then you can use the 🔼(up) and 🔽(down) arrow keys to move through the radio buttons. When one is selected, you'll hear "Radio Button checked" and if you move to a radio button that is not checked, you'll hear "Radio Button unchecked".

If it's easier to send over a file, you can share the .story file in this discussion! I'll be happy to test it on my end!
