I am working in SL3 and I want to make a module which is also accessible for blind people. But since the new update text boxes are skipped in the tab order. They are in tab order but in the preview, publish and in Jaws they are skipped.
The tab order changed and is now more a focus order. Only interactive items are now tubbable. All of the text boxes with no interactive triggers are now navigated via the up and down arrows and should be read automatically in the tab order. This is more in keeping with how a web page functions.
Thanks for your reply I tried but where do I determine the order of the text boxes to read by Jaws? Is it in the TAB Order, or the timeline? I have mulitple text boxes on a slide.
Is there an y information on this within Articualte how to build a slide which is also suitable for this? People who are blind or visible impaired?

Hi Phil,

You should still put the text boxes in order in the tab order. They should be read automatically.
Here is an article explaining the reading order https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-3-Accessible-Slide-Content#navigation
Thanks Phil I will read it and see how it works !
