screen reader skips text object on slide layer
Help ---I am building an accessible course in Storyline 360 and would like to use layers. On the layer, I have a text box and an image with alt-text. The screen reader skips the text box and reads the alt text for the image. I have customized the focus order to read the text box first and arranged the timeline so the text box is before the image. The text box is read only if they arrow up before exiting the layer. I deleted the image and it still skips the text box. Any suggestions?

difficult to help without being the slide or focus order.
Hello Microassist Learning!
I'm happy to help! Is the text box at the top of the Focus Order? I'd recommend adding the items from the layer to the top of the focus order and having the items on the base layer listed last.
Also, which screen reader are you using?
thanks, I will try that. I am using Jaws.
I ended up using a layer marker object first in the tab order. this works.
Hi Microassisst,
If you want, you can check out this video at minute 5:44 it shows how to handle the layers when making the focus order https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdlKKvfXHo8
