Looking for tips on how screen readers read Storyline output

Hey Mel!

Thanks for posting your question! Like you, I'm also new to accessibility and am learning as much as I can about it, mostly through trial and error. Accessibility in E-Learning (from what I've read and the research I've done) seems to be an area that is still evolving in terms of standards and best practices, but obviously a lot is borrowed/copied from the web world. 

In terms of screen reader support, for now Articulate Storyline 360 supports JAWS (you can read more about screen reader support here: https://articulate.com/support/article/Combined-Tech-Specs-for-All-Articulate-360-Apps#screen-readers) Important to note, we are having the discussion about supporting a broader range of screen readers. Accessibility in general is very important to us and an area we're making ongoing improvements in. 

In terms of the screen reader saying aloud "Group" I think if you go into the Tab Order window for the slide and make some changes there, I do believe you can get rid of that. In terms of the radio checkbox, I believe that is a bug we already have logged, but I do still recommend logging it here. 

Also, there's a bunch more helpful resources about accessibility I just wanted to point out:

• Articulate Storyline and Section 508 Accessibility
