JAWs Reader is not reading ALT Text
I am
testing the accessibility features on a storyline file using JAWs 14.0 demo
version. I am using IE 10 to open the published HTML file. The JAWs reader is
not reading my ALT text for my images. ...
Maria, just to clarify, it sounds like the alt text that is being read is what is contained in the Normal state (when using the States tab), rather than what you've assigned by clicking on the image directly on the slide stage. Is that accurate?
Here's a look at what I mean (using a standard button rather than an image):
I'm sorry this behavior is impacting your workflow - I know it takes valuable time to edit the alt text like that. This particular issue has been on our radar for a few months, and we're working to prioritize it.
You're in the right place to be updated when we have new information to share.
I know this is 2 years old but this just solved the mystery of the incorrect alt. text for me! Thank you!
