Running into some issues with markers and screen readers. Our 508 specialist says that in the course our markers cannot be read with some screen readers - does anyone have a workaround? Markers are a pretty major part of the course down the line. I've attached an example of a slide using a marker here. Help!
So sorry for the trouble, Manhattan Strategy team!
We have an open issue in Update 36 of Storyline 360, where screen readers do not read the marker label content. I'll share your voice in this bug's report so we can notify you of any developments!
In the meantime, this problem isn't present in Update 35. To publish the course, you can temporarily install this previous version. Here's how!
How's this progressing? I have just a couple of courses with markers. Having persuaded the client that the new version of Storyline is actually going to be better for AT users, I don't want to have to now roll back just to get markers to read correctly.
Thanks for checking in! We're working on this fix for this bug where screen readers aren't recognizing the marker's label content. We'll report back when it's ready to be shipped!

Great news, folks!
Update 40 for Storyline 360 is ready: We fixed the issue where screen readers stopped announcing text in interactive markers.
