Articulate 360 and Screen Readers
I’ve been experiencing some issues with using the NVDA screen reader with my Articulate eLearning and was wondering if anyone may be able to help please?
In brief, I’ve added Alternative Text to the elements I want read on the slide and removed everything else on the page in the Focus Order option in Articulate. When I review the slide with the NVDA screen reader on it reads ‘clickable frame main land mark Assessment and Fluid Balance button’, ‘Assessment and Fluid Balance’ being my alternative text. No idea where it’s getting the other words from. It seems to read the title of the file or says the word ‘blank’ when I move onto the next slide. Do you know if there are specific settings in NVDA that control what it picks up to read? Microsoft Narrator seems to be different again. It reads the name of the object on the slide, not the alternative text I’ve added, it does add the word ‘button’ . When it moves to the next slide it says ‘group’. Personally, I think I prefer the way Narrator works but neither are fit for purpose in their current setup.
I was under the impression Articulate works well with NVDA especially. Any advice or guidance will be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.
