Rise Screen Reader Accessibility Issues
Hello folks, during recent testing of one of our Rise courses, we noted the following issues when taking the course using NVDA screen reader:

Hi there, Valerie! Thanks for sharing what you found with testing.
- We have a bug documented for this behavior where NVDA doesn't immediately read the text after turning the card. I'll make sure this discussion is updated with a fix when available.
- I wasn't able to reproduce this behavior. I created a lesson with a text + image block for each layout, and when using the arrow button to read through the content, NVDA read the image alt text when I was focused on the image and not the text.
- I wasn't able to reproduce this behavior either. If I hit enter on the answer choice, the radio button would show as selected, but it didn't automatically submit. I could arrow up or down and choose a different answer. If I used space to select an answer, using the arrow up or down would change my selection to whichever choice I was focused on. I had to hit enter or space bar again to submit my choice.
For the behaviors that I couldn't reproduce, we'd be happy to look at an example course where you're seeing inconsistency! You can connect with us privately by clicking here, and we'll see if we can offer more specific insight!
