I received a mail from a learner who is having accessibility issues with a course I published on our LMS. He's using Windows Eyes on IE 11. Can you please let me know if Storyline 2 is accessible using Windows Eyes?
I've never used Window-Eyes before Brian, but I'm confident that it would work in a similar way to JAWS.
Why don't you download a demo of Window-Eyes and see how it works? Then you can modify your course as per the documents linked above and see how that changes the experience.
It would also be a good idea to work alongside that learner if possible to identify what is most beneficial for them.
I'm not familiar with Windows Eyes and I've seen it mentioned in the forums years ago as you can see here.
I believe it's moreso about compatibility with the browser once the course is published vs the software. You can read about the compatibility in the documentation that Matthew shared above.
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist.

Hi Brian,
Yes, Storyline can be made accessible. Please see these resources for a start:
Storyline and Section 508 Accessibility

Thanks.
Thanks Matthew. The first link you provide mentions JAWS but not Windows Eyes which is what I really need to know about. Tks, Brian

Thanks Matthew but I don't like installing too much software on my laptop.
Can someone from Articulate let me know if Windows-Eyes is compatible with Storyline courses?
Thanks, Brian
