    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!

Thanks Birgit - that does make sense, and I saw the same thing while testing out your file too.

I tried recreating the issue on a new file, attached for you here. You'll see I set up my radio buttons a bit differently to test a few things, but they both have the Alt text enabled. The CC on button is animating in similar to yours, and the CC off button also had it's "Radio button" title in the timeline renamed to match the alt text.

I uploaded this to Tempshare for some quick testing, and viewed in Chrome HTML5 with Jaws 18 - and both of them noted the correct alt text when selected and when not selected.

Can you take a look at my example and let me know how it behaves for you? I'd like to narrow down what could be causing it...I didn't add in your triggers as I don't think that should have an impact but let me know if you spot something else!
