Please let me know if you need additional help.
Hi GilesCulkin-1d3!
Sorry to hear that you've run into this setback!
I can confirm we have this behavior logged as a bug in Storyline 360. This bug causes check boxes, and Alt Text for check boxes, to be announced separately when using screen readers. We have observed this bug within JAWS, as well as NVDA. Not to worry! I've linked this discussion to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is in place.
Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry if this has been slowing you down!
Hello!
Can you provide update on this bug?
On my current project, I have textless shapes as quiz answers and the alt text isn't given right away. I need to click twice to hear it (and then go back to actually select an answer).
I recently encountered the exact same issue with images and textless checkboxes.
Thanks for your reply!
Hi StphanieD-6dddf,
Thank you for checking in and for sharing what you’re seeing in your project. I know how frustrating it is when the alt text doesn’t announce as expected, especially when you’re working with textless shapes or image-based answer choices.
Our product team is aware of this behavior, and I’m really sorry it’s getting in your way. I’ve added your experience to the report so the team has full visibility into the impact you’re feeling.
We’ll share an update here as soon as there’s movement.
