Hi Lauren, hyphens are read as dash and underscores are read as underline so I cannot use those. I can only add spaces between the letters and numbers so it will be read correctly.
I have also found out a LOT of other issues:
- Shortcut key to open keyboard shortcut list (shift+?) doesn't work when using JAWS screen reader
- Shortcut keys for Next and Previous buttons doesn't work when using JAWS screen reader. Assigning a custom keyboard shortcuts the same as the default shortcut works BUT sometimes it focuses on the end of slide and skips the main region so all my content aren't being read. I had to tab until I reach the "Back to top" button
- Alt text doesn't like multiple paragraphs/line breaks. I had to combine all paragraphs into a single paragraph so all content will be read by JAWS. This is a major issue for me because I have a lot of text and bullet points in my course.
- Sometimes JAWS begin reading at the middle of the paragraph.
- Alt text assigned to a graphic within a group wasn't being read. I had to add the alt text in the grouped object itself.
- BOTH Graded Question > Multiple Choice AND Freeform Question > Pick One doesn't work properly. JAWS only reads the first choice. Only workaround is to use Freeform > Pick Many but use radio buttons instead of checkbox.
I hope that these issues will be resolved in the future updates.
Thank you,
