When developing a course in Storyline, how do screen readers handle a slide when there is text on screen, in alt tags, in the Notes tab and when an audio narration track is played in the timeline?
Does the screen reader read the screen at the same time the SL narration play?
The scenario is my slide plays the narration when the page loads. The screen also presents the narrated text for the hearing impaired, those who wish to follow, or those who chose to shut off the audio and read it at their own pace.
Screen readers will not be able to detect if audio is playing on a course, so the best thing to do is to plan when the audio will start playing. You can check out this discussion to see how members of the community approached this accessibility design requirement:
