Screen Reader Picking Up Strange Text for Video
Jun 22, 2020

Hello,
I'm currently updating some Storyline courses to provide accessibility support. The opening slide is a blank slide on which there is a video, which plays the company logo and by-line (no narration, only music). I added alternative text for the video, and confirmed in the Tab Order window that there are no other objects on the slide. When I play the side, the screen reader is reading my alternative text, then "grouping", then the alternative text again, then "button". The button doesn't bother me as much as the "grouping" read in the middle, the repetition of the alternative text. Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea why this could be happening?

Which screen reader are you using? I've encountered it reading "grouping" in nonsensical places and repetition of alt text when using NVDA.
Yes! NVDA. I'm glad it's not just me :).
Hi Adina and Sally,
Thank you for reaching out!
May I ask what versions of NVDA and Storyline you are using? Also, if you can share your files with us, that would help out greatly!

Hey Vincent, my apologies for not seeing your reply. I'm working with Storyline 360 and NVDA 2020.1. I'll upload an example for you privately. Thanks for looking in to this!
Hi Adina!
We'll keep an eye out for the file! We're happy to help.
