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 Shim,
Happy to help clarify here. Different states of an object aren't included in the Focus Order since screen readers automatically announce states for interactive objects. This article shares more:
Interactive objects are correctly identified to assistive technologies and function as expected. For example, screen readers properly announce radio buttons with their labels and current states.
Can you share more about what questions you have on layer objects? You'll notice they appear on the focus order and are read by a screen reader when the layer is visited.
Just a quick question.
Do we have to alt text for the onscreen text as well for the screen reader
to read or is it for only images and objects?
I have attached the picture here.
