Hi Ashley,
We have tried the work arounds stated above and neither work with JAWS, NVDA or VoiceOver. The alternate states do not read, even when additional alt text is added. The alt text on a state does not show in the tab order, either. Adding an additional shape on top and using a trigger/variable to set it (say, as a visited state) would work, but would also make tabbing through with JAWS (or any screen reader), a pain because there is no way to prevent the initial state from being read. Just wanted to share what we are experiencing.
