NVDA and Storyline lightboxes modern player

Here is a snippet of two recordings. In the source file this section is under the Pictogram scenes, and in the Hazards section with the physical groups lightbox, I can't get it to the lightboxes.  although it did get in in the 2nd video, but I was pressing anything.  I will send the source file via the support case as it won't load here must be too big.  Thanks for the assist.

We’ve opened case number 00981078 for you.

Thank you both, sorry for not acknowledging your messages, I used to get a notice in my email when someone has replied but I didn't receive anything.  StevenBenassi I will upload the source file and will try to do a screen recording.  ID4WiscState thank you for all the tips.  It is interesting I avoid lightboxes now in the modern player as I don't like how far away the close button is to the interaction, but I have alot of old modules that now have to be looked at and lots of lightboxes.  

My other question for the Feedback pop up windows for correct/incorrect.  I have to go in and turn off accessibility for the oval and the checkmark, but the rectangle itself is also turned on, can I turn it off as well so the screen reader just reads the feedback title and text box and button? Or does the rectangle have to stay accessible for the screen reader to read the info inside.  Just thought I would add that just in case :)  We have been taking it off...

To get the lighbox to work, you have to "enter" the lightbox. Navigate through your course until the lightbox is highlighted, then select space to activate the lightbox. Then you can navigate through its contents. For as complicated as that is, I typically avoid lightboxes.

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".

Dare I add, I also noticed that it moves through a quiz nicely, but I have to press arrow down twice when I get to the next question or it starts reading the first question again, even though I am not on the first question anymore...:( I know part is my inexperience for sure.
