Oct 10, 2020

Can a screen recording be made accessible for those who are vision challenged? If so how?

Thank you.

Hello Nancy,

Thanks for raising this concern, thankfully Articulate is kind enough to provide that feature. For Visually impaired audiences, we can create Storyline 360 Content With a Screenreaders, the screen reader software works with the computer’s operating system to provide information to the learner about what’s happening on the monitor. A computer-generated voice reads aloud the icons, text, files, menu options, dialog boxes, and other on-screen objects the user can’t see.

The most popular screen-recording apps are JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack and they work perfectly in our supported browsers.

I also pulled up the articles on how you can record screencast and how to insert that to your course.

I hope this is the information you need, if anything else, feel free to let me know so I can check further for you.

Cheers!

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the quick reply, the screen reader will read the course as a whole, you may insert your own audio if you would like or you can also put a textbox with description so the screen reader can read it for your audiences. One more thing, you can Alternate Text for Screen Readers in Storyline 360.

Best Regards,
