NVDA and Storyline lightboxes modern player
Hi everyone, I am updating an older module from classic player to modern player, and reviewing all the accessibility. It was in rough shape. I think I have added my focus order correctly, adjusted...
Hey there,
I think you are on track! Some additional considerations from my experience...
- "Groups" can interfere with the highlight box, causing it to not overlay on the object it is reading. I believe this has to do with the child objects having a location relative to the group, and NVDA mis interpreting that relative location as a universal location. I don't think there is anything to be done about that.
- The screen reader will read empty line breaks, in case those get used instead of paragraph spacing.
- The screen reader will only read objects currently on the timeline, but also if they are off screen; so-
- Beware objects whose timeline ends before the slide timeline ends; those should likely only be objects marked decorative
- Items off of the workspace but whose timeline persists with the end of the slide timeline are still visible; so you can animate an item off screen and still have it be found by NVDA, or create extra instructions in an off-canvas text box.
- The screen reader will read your captions. If you are only screen reading after the slide has played through, it will hold space for where the captions should be with a "blank".
