In the new accessible player, when using the NVDA screen reader, if the keyboard focus is on the player seekbar while the timeline is playing, the screen reader will constantly announce the timestamp. This makes it impossible to clearly hear slide audio. Can anyone else replicate this issue? If so, hopefully it can be resolved as soon as possible.
I appreciate you taking the time to report this issue to us! I'm excited to share that the fix for this bug was released today in Storyline 360 (Build 3.51.24979.0).
Fixed: Screen readers constantly announced timestamps when the seekbar had focus. Now, screen readers announce the elapsed percentage one time when the seekbar gains focus—e.g., 10%. When learners activate the seekbar by pressing Enter or spacebar, screen readers announce the elapsed percentage as it changes—e.g., 10%, 11%, 12%, and so on.

I have submitted this in a bug report.
