Screen Reader Accessibility for Button States
Hi there,
I'm having some trouble implementing accessibility for my Pick Many activities. Screen readers do not seem to recognize the difference between a Normal state and a Selected state of a bu...
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").
