NVDA doesn't read the content in the given focus order
Has there been any progress on this issue? I'm experiencing a similar issue involving content on layers: I have 4 buttons on the base layer; selecting each button opens a corresponding layer. The focus order is set up correctly: base layer button 1, text box(es) on layer 1, base layer button 2, text box(es) on layer 2, etc. The slide includes navigation instructions for the screen reader to 'press enter then down' for each button.
But NVDA is inconsistent. On some layers it reads the text correctly; other layers it skips the first text box on the layer or doesn't read the layer at all. Using the up arrow will sometimes find the correct text box, but that's of no use to a visually-impaired user.
I'm using the most recent version of NVDA (v 2021.3.3) and SL 360 (except today’s update), and have been testing in the LMS - and it's consistently inconsistent. Suggestions?
Hi Patricia!
I understand that you're finding the focus order is read inconsistently when using NVDA and the course is located in an LMS environment. Have you tested your course outside of the LMS? For example, locally, on a web server, or even in SCORM cloud. Is the behavior the same?
I'd also recommend sharing your file with our Support Engineers in a support case. They'll test your project and reply with their findings.
