Hotspot - Screen reader and Tab interaction
Hi all,
I hope someone can help with this. I have tried to test my current project with Narrator and using a Tab interaction (in Preview, I have not published the project yet). However, when I am on Preview, the hotspot that I have included in the project is not recognised by Narrator or the Tab key.
I wonder how I go about and fix this?
Many thanks,
Paige
Hello Paige,
Thanks for reaching out!
You'll need to do the following to make sure that your Hotspots are recognized by the screen reader and tab key:
- Make sure that the hotspot is included in the focus order
- Associate the hotspot with a trigger to make it interactive
- Make sure that the 'Object is visible to accessibility tools' option is checked.
- Make sure that you are using a supported screen reader (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
I've attached a sample project file which contains a hotspot that I can confirm was able to be detected by NVDA screen reader.
Let me know if you are able to tab to it using my file!
Hi Josh, thank you for your response.
