Alt text in Review 360?
Is alt text not accessible in Articulate 360 Review? I have our SME reviewing a module and he states that he can't check the alt text? Does it not work in Review, and if not, why?
Hi Dena!
It sounds like you needed some help with accessing the Alt text within a course after publishing it to Review 360. I'd be happy to help with that!
I had some clarifying questions first to help me understand your situation a little better:
- Is your SME trying to access and modify the Alt text on the slides of a course?
- Is your SME viewing a course with a screen reader but the Alt text is not being spoken?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Steven
No the SME is not trying to modify the alt text. I sent the SME the Articulate Review 360 review link for proofing and feedback (which is the process we always do until the SME signs off and then we upload to our LMS). He is using a screen reader to check the Alt text of the images, but it does not seem to work within the review site.
Hello Dena,
Happy to help!
You'll need to make sure that the 'Object is visible to accessibility tools' option is checked in the 'Size and Position -> Accessibility' settings window in order for the screen reader to detect the image.
You can right-click on the image to access this menu. There also needs to be Alternate Text entered in the input box. If this option is already checked for your images, would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening? We'll delete it when we're done testing!
