508 Compliance/Accesiblity Question about Menu

Additionally, I understand that JAWS stops reading in the middle of the alt text. You can change the number of characters JAWS reads before stopping and requiring the user to press the Down arrow to continue reading. 

• I am aware of this and how to change the settings of max characters. The issue that I experience is when it is my first time accessing the page but instead of it starting from the top, it starts at the middle of the paragraph. This only happens on IE11 and not on Edge.

When grouping an object, it turns into one object so JAWS will read the Alt Text set for the entire group.

• The image that I have is not decorative so I have to add alt-text. But yeah, I added the alt text on the entire group because it's not read by JAWS if it's on the image when it is grouped with other objects.

Lastly, the standard way to navigate through a quiz question that has radio button or check boxes is to use the down/up arrow to navigate through the answer choices and then select an option using the SPACE bar. Here's a quick demo of this interaction: Link

• Thank you for this very detailed video. I know that you have to tab through the choices and press Space bar to activate the button. Again, the issue happens when I'm using JAWS on Edge or IE11. Alt text aren't being read so I have to figure out a workaround which I've mentioned above.

Maybe the whole thing is a browser issue and it's compatibility with JAWS.
