Looking for tips on how screen readers read Storyline output

Hi everyone, I'm looking for tips on Storyline output and screen readers. Is there a way to edit the objects so that the screen reader does not read "radio button" "group" after each object? See...

We are having the same issues with Studio and Storyline content we are creating.  We have to make the content with compatible with screen readers.  When we publish for HTML5 the screen reader says "group" for almost every object on the screen.  We have hidden objects from the screen reader and they are being ignored properly, but the parts that can be seen become groups and the screen reader says "group" along with the alt-text we provide.  How can we fix this?

Hi Daniel,

I just did a quick test and I'm not seeing this issue on the latest update of Storyline 360. What version are you using?

If you're on the latest update of Storyline 360 and still seeing it, the quickest way to resolve this issue is to have our Support Team take a look. You can submit a case here.

In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

    Is this adjustment also done for Storyline 3? (removal of the voicing of the word "group" etc.)
