VoiceOver screen reader starts every screen at the end....

Jul 24, 2020

Hi! I am trying to make an Articulate Storyline course accessible to a screenreader, and I am testing it in the built in Mac screenreader, 'VoiceOver'. I have worked out how to add alt text, make items accessible/inaccessible to the screenreader, and how to order them in the tab order menu.
However I am struggling when I test the course because every slide after the first one starts by saying 'end of screen'. I can get it to replay the screen by selecting 'Skip navigation', and then it returns to the correct order, but this seems wrong. How do I get it to start at the beginning of every screen?

Hi, Rebecca!

I have great news to share! We are no longer seeing this issue when using our latest version of Storyline 360 (Build 3.72.29699.0).

To make sure your software is up-to-date, please launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and select the Update button next to Storyline 360. I've included our step-by-step instructions here!

Hi Rebecca!

In VoiceOver, you can choose the Initial position of VoiceOver cursor. The two options are First Item in Window or Keyboard Focused Item. It sounds like you might have the initial position set to keyboard focused item.

Here's what that setting looks like:

From here, you'll want to use the keyboard shortcuts to interact with the elements on the webpage.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks Lauren! I have given this a go - I've been able to change the setting, but either way I set it, it is still beginning each slide at the end... I have logged it with Articulate Support as Case #02372243
