Screen reader reads text line by line, not by paragraph

Hi,

I'm using NVDA to check the text using browse mode by up/down arrow in storyline. Screen is reading the text line by line not as paragraph. Could you share more information on how to adjust it.

    Hi MadhuSikilam727​!

    Happy to help!

    By default, the NVDA screen reader can dictate a maximum of 250 characters at a time. After that, the learner must use the DOWN ARROW key to switch focus, so NVDA can announce the next line item from a paragraph. First, I suggest checking the Browse settings, to see if the character limit has been reduced.

    You can access these settings by right-clicking the NVDA icon from the toolbar, then navigating to Preferences > Settings > Browse Mode.

    Let me know how it goes!
