Screen Reader Accessibility for Button States
Hi, all!
I have some great news to share! We just released a new version of Storyline 360 (Update 103), which included a fix for the issue where screen readers didn't always announce the visited state of buttons or shapes.
To take advantage of this update, simply launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or reaching out to our Support Engineers directly. We'll be happy to help!
Hi all,
I have a similar problem for checkboxes: the screen reader cannot read the selected status of checkboxes. If I try this workaround, the box is not shown selected, futhermore the text in selected status is overlying the normal status.
What can I do to make readble the selected status, without creating multiple checkboxes and textboxes handled with triggers?
I found out the reason!
First all I updated to the last version of SL360. Then changed the alt text in the selected status.
In order to listen the selected status, when checkbox is selected, you have to wait for Screen reader to read the entire sentence: i.e. checkbox contains the text "hello", so screen reader will tell "hello checkbox" and then you can select the box and listen the phrase wrote in the alt text of selected status (for example "hello selected checkbox").
