Accessibility built in or not as the case may be.
I love this software, used it for many years. Wait for it - Accessibility, if you select the standard colours in format and run them through a checker they are not accessible to AA standard and you ...
Hi Eric,
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on accessibility in Storyline 360 and here on the community forums. Since you've been a Storyline user for many years, you've been on our journey as we work to continually improve accessibility.
We are currently committed to empowering creators to deliver accessible courses. I can certainly understand how more default and automated accessible features would be beneficial to saving you time. Similar to this request, we have already introduced theme contrast control in Rise 360.
Would you be able to share additional details around what you would like to see when you mention "if you select the standard colours in format"? I want to make sure we have your request documented properly.
We are also aware of the button contrast on this page and agree that it needs accessibility attention.
Hi,
I use the format shape styles quite a bit, it used to be this was not an issue now I have to check contrast for every inserted shape with a solid colour background. The attached screengrab is the Format (quick format even) for those shapes and since we always seem to add text the accessibility has to be at least AA for smaller font sizes. As you know. I would like the offered colours (so no change to the system just the offered or initial colours) to meet a minimum of AA for small font sizes. If that cannot be done then add a user option that's more visible for us to set the colours and that storyline will remember. Possibly add a webAim style contrast checker for accessibility into the ribbon that would be a positive step down the path.
Anyway like I say love the product just the devil is in the details.
