Accessibility: Screen reader and automatic playing audio collisions
This is an ongoing issue with many of our courses. When a user with a screen reader navigates to a slide with automatically playing audio, both the audio and the screen reader text to speech play at...
When audio plays automatically, one of the requirements of accessibility in particular WCAG is the ability for the user to switch the audio on and off and adjust the volume, at the moment for all courses where full accessibility is required we enable the audio controls on the player.
Would be nice if these could be accessed via a variable.
Yes we also have the audio controls enabled. However we don't want to prevent the users with screen readers from ever hearing the audio (mute) as it contains part of the content. We just want to allow them to play it at their action rather than having it auto play over the screen reader TTS.
Makes sense, that isn’t part of the guidelines for accessibility guidelines just that the user can control it. I am curious, If some of the content is in the audio what provisions do you have for deaf people?
Hope Articulate can help you.
