Hi there, Max!
Thanks for reaching out. Glad to hear you are incorporating accessibility features into your course!
Unfortunately, this 'Read Aloud' functionality is not possible with Storyline 360 courses while using Edge. This functionality within Edge is only supported at this time within Rise 360 since it is web-based.
We currently have a Feature Request submitted for this very issue. I have added your voice to this request. Here is how we handle Feature Requests. You can see what our team is currently working on within the Feature Roadmap.
In the meantime, I'm curious to hear what other community members have done as a workaround!
We'll be sure to update this thread with any news or updates.
Thanks so much!
Hi Luciana, I am having trouble with the Edge Read Aloud in Rise and hoping you can help. Every time it gets to a "Continue" button, the reader stops reading. When I hit play again, it starts at the beginning of the course (instead of where I left off after the Continue button click). Any recommendations or known issues?
Hello Naomi,
Happy to help!
The first thing we need to do is to isolate if the behavior you're experiencing is isolated to your screen reader. Rise 360 supports JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack screen readers with our supported browsers.
Would you mind testing your course using any of the four supported screen readers to see if there is any difference? If you can replicate the behavior there, please open a case with our support team here so we can take a closer look at the issue.
