Hello! Have there been any updates around this?
My team is doing similar testing in VoiceOver, and discovered that in the web output, some of the marker text will be read in the Read All mode but not all of it. In the video example, the text that starts with Note is not auto-read.

Hi CourtneyBrya204 & BrianRewerts!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with VoiceOver dictation of your Review 360 content!
Do you mind sharing which keys were used when navigating through the slide? Depending on the size of the Marker's text box, VoiceOver separates the elements into different 'regions'.
- After navigating to the Marker icon with the Tab key, I used CONTROL + OPTION + SPACEBAR to activate the Marker Button.
- Then, I used CONTROL + OPTION + RIGHT ARROW KEY to switch focus to the text box.
- Continuing with CONTROL + OPTION + RIGHT ARROW KEY allowed me to proceed through the regions of the text box, and all of the text was announced.
- Here's a quick screen recording of how it performed on my end!
Please let me know if that worked for you!
