Compatible Screen Reader

Hi,

 

Is anyone able to recommend a free screen reader that is compatible with content published via Storyline 360 (not Rise)?

 

I was under the impression that NVDA (https://www.nvaccess.org/download/)  would work, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to.

 

I've attached a sample of the Storyline file in question if this helps.

 

Kind regards,

 

Will

    I rarely but sometimes stumble into situations where NVDA only recognizes "main landmark" and "blank"; but it can usually be resolved with shutting NVDA off and relaunching the course. I have not been able to replicate the situation in order to report any issues (and I've also had this issue with Adobe PDFs). Generally, I have no issue using NVDA to screen-read/navigate the course or other materials. I recommend giving it another go. Don't forget to use the arrows to navigate, not just "tab".

  • How are you reviewing, in preview, on review, on your website?

      Unfortunately, I get the same result in all of these environments:

      • Preview mode within Storyline
      • Via Review 360
      • SCORM Cloud (https://app.cloud.scorm.com/)
      • Our LMS (which is Totara based)

      It just doesn't seem to recognise any of the text or images and only responds with things like "main landmark" and "blank".
