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. ...
Hi there! I have just updated JAWS and Storyline 3, and am testing a published course. JAWS is not reading the image alt-text at all. Currently there are no states other than Normal on any of the images, object is visible to accessibility tools, and alt-text is set. Still, when I arrow to the image, all I get from JAWS is "graphic." Any suggestions? TIA!
Hi Emily!
The JAWS screen reader adds graphic or button to object descriptions when it's narrating a published course. This is how JAWS is designed to operate for accessibility support.
For example, JAWS adds graphic to descriptions of pictures, screenshots, and characters, since these elements are graphics. Similarly, JAWS adds button to descriptions of buttons and objects with click triggers.
