Recent accessibility improvements in Storyline 360
Thanks Simon, I can confirm that neither JAWS nor NVDA reads the slides properly. NVDA stopped reading the body text after a few slides. JAWS has got too many bags and also sometimes doesn't progress to the next slide (not to mention it reads the slide title 3 times in a row and reads buttons twice). Summarising, the blind people don't have ANY tool to use with the SL courses.
I have the exact same problem with JAWS reading the slide name several times. Originally some of my issues were, apparently, a bug in the version of JAWS I was using. I have updated to JAWS 2020, and still have the problem of JAWS reading slide names several times in a row. To be clear, I don't mean slide title, which is visible on the screen. I mean slide name, which should be invisible to the course participant.
I work for the Federal government, and by law all of our courses must be 508 compliant. The version from December of last year is the only one that works for me, which is annoying because I can't get access to the great new features.
Oddly, some of my coworkers also use Storyline and don't have the same problem I have. Because of that, I've tried this on both my work computer and my personal computer, and I have the same problem on both. Could it somehow be an issue in the installation, or some problem with interactions with other software? I do have an open ticket about this. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, with no difference in behavior.
