Are markers accessible?

I can't access the text inside a marker with my screen reader. I thought this worked before the new "Accessible player" was introduced in January. Anyone have any insight/workarounds?

  • Good morning, Erich!

    You're right. Screen readers read the marker's label content in Storyline 360 Update 35 and earlier, but stopped working in Update 36the accessible player's debut.

    We're working on a fix for this and will share more when it's ready!

  • Hi again, Erich!

    Update 40 for Storyline 360 is live: We fixed the issue where screen readers stopped announcing text in interactive markers.

  • Hi - I am having this same issue in Storyline 3. JAWS will not read the marker text. Is anyone else having this same problem? I am running the latest version.

      Hello Kristy!

      We were only able to recreate this issue in Storyline 360 before releasing the fix. Marker text was read properly using Storyline 3 and JAWS. Would you mind sharing your .story file with us? You can share it with our team by submitting a case.
