Hi Carolyn, 

I'm truly sorry for the frustration that this is causing you, and our team knows how important accessibility is. We've released a few fixes for the items in this discussion in the past couple updates of Storyline 360. For example, the following items were recently fixed:

  • JAWS screen readers wouldn't announce the active player tab.
  • There were some keyboard navigation issues, such as an incorrect tab order for objects on slide layers.
  • Alt text on object's other states is not read by JAWS

If you're using Storyline 3, those same fixes will be available in the next update (release date TBD) and we'll let folks know as soon as that's ready!

If you've hit any other roadblocks, we definitely want to know about them! Can you share details and any examples (screen recordings, .story files, etc.) with our Support team by uploading at this link?
