Accessibility - Defining Text Styles without Slide Titles
Hello all!
I'm working with Articulate's new accessibility checker. This slide is getting flagged by the accessibility checker for "Text styles defined":
I believe it's flagging the slide be...
Option 1: Click "Skip" in the accessibility checker.
Option 2: Put a Title placeholder off the slide. Use that to enter Heading-1 text that the user won't see.
I put a Title placeholder just above the slide area for blank layouts, because the Title placeholder is connected to the Slide Title field (which is under the slide image in the Scenes panel). That makes it easier to enter the text to be used for the built-in Menu.
The Title would be read by a screen reader.
- I just did a quick test. I inserted a blank slide in a project. The accessibility checker gave me its text-style-defined error. I put a Title with the Heading 1 style above the slide. The accessibility checker deleted its note. And that note didn't reappear when I removed the Title placeholder from the Focus Order.
It's up to you and your company/client to determine if what's acceptable.
