RISE Image block not fully accessible
When testing a Rise course in the JAWS reader, if an image has a caption that text is skipped by the reader if the image itself doesn't have an alt-tag.

Hi IanDunin-Mar358,
Happy to help!
I did a quick test using the latest version of JAWS, and it was able to read the caption on an image block even without the presence of Alt Text.
Would you mind sharing how you're navigating to the image block so I can try to recreate the behavior? For your reference, I used the up and down arrow keys to move to the image block in my test course.
Hi Jose,
I have the latest version of RISE, and JAWS 2024 (straight out of the box - no customization). I'm using the UP and DOWN arrows to navigate.
When I test your course, it works. JAWS stops at the image and reads the caption.
When I test the same image/block in my course (in preview, on Review 360, and published on LMS) the image block is skipped over.
Hello IanDunin-Mar358,
It sounds like something might be wrong with your course or image block, in particular. Please open a case with our support team here to connect with a support engineer so we can request a copy of your course for testing. We'll delete it when we're done!
