Accessibility: Headings in Storyline 360

Hello everyone,

I am very excited about the newest Storyline 360 update, which now supports semantic markup of slides.

I'm running into an issue with my heading structure being read out by a screen reader - NVDA. 

I have a slide with an H1 (heading 1) assigned by me: Social Responsibility.

The problem I am experiencing when testing with NVDA is that the Course Title (Retail Refresh Training: Challenge and Refusal) is being identified as H1, as demonstrated in the Elements List window, and I am unable to get the actual H1 to be recognized as such.  

Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

Thank you.

  • I set headings to a heading styles (e.g. H1 or H2) then they are listed in the NVDA headings list (Insert + F7 to display this) I make sure the heading is in the focus order and does not have any manually typed alt text and that seems to work for my courses.

      Yes, with out editing the alt text it is reading by pressing 'H' key in NVDA screen reader. When we try to edit the alt text it is not reading the by pressing 'H' key in keyboard in NVDA screen reader. 

      I attached few screen shots please check once. Is there any solution to fix this issue because sometimes we need to edit the alt text.
