Jaws screen reader with Rise 360

Hi, 

Thanks for working on accessibility for Rise. Do you have any updates you can share?

Hello, Karen! I don't have any new updates since my last post. Thanks for checking in! 

While we can't share more specifics on timing and the order of features yet, our end goal is to get Rise 360 output WCAG 2.1 compliant by the end of 2020.

To help us get it right, we've hired Deque, a leader in digital accessibility, to perform a 3rd party audit for Rise 360 so we have an accurate and comprehensive list of items to tackle. We've also dedicated developers to own accessibility on Rise 360 long term.

As we have more details and updates, we will most certainly share here with all of you!

Hi Alyssa,

I appreciate your quick response. Hoping things are on track. Rise is such an awesome product.

Thanks!

Hi,

I know this topic is about a year old, but I'm curious to know how the development to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) with Rise is going? I'm currently thinking at moving my courses to Rise but we will need to be WCAG compliant in early 2021. So, it's very important for us.

Thanks,

Hello Frédérick,

Thanks for your question. While Rise 360 isn't WCAG 2.1 compliant yet, we're working hard to reach that goal!

We put together a journal where you can find all the details on the features we’ve enhanced in Rise 360 as we work towards WCAG 2.1 compliance. And we’ll keep this journal updated as we continue our accessibility journey.

Any updates on this?  I cannot believe Rise was even released without being compliant, let alone dragged along for two years. We are paying for an application we can't even use.

I agree, Articulate should be ensuring all of their products are fully accessible and screen reader compliant. How are we (as customers) supposed to ensure our companies stay WCAG 2.1 compliant when the tools you offer do not enable us to do so. 

Please can you make screen reader compatibility a priority.
