Adding Alt Text to Images in Rise 360
There is a discussion in another thread
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/long-description
that is almost 10 years old. It says Storyline alt text has been tested and shown to work with more than 50,000 characters. But does anyone know if there is a different character limit for Rise?
Hi Chris! I understand you wanted to know if there's a character limit for Rise 360's alt text.
Like what Leslie mentioned on the forum post you shared, there isn't official documentation indicating a hard or imposed limit for the characters you can use for an alternative text. I tested this from my end and Rise was able to retain over 50,000 characters. Here's a quick screen recording for reference.
With that said, we do recommend here in our Best Practices for Writing Alt Text to use no more than 150 characters to describe an object. This is because users can't pause screen readers when reading an alt text. If users missed any part of it, they'll need to listen to it all over again.
I hope this helps!
