Screenreader doesn't work with dials or slider
Hi, I have 2 different courses with a slider and dial. I have set text state to become visible when these are moved. However, testing with a screenreader, just '1', '2', etc are read out, not the t...
Thanks, I have attached the dial one. Using NVDA published to review 360 :)
Hi again, Thank you for sharing your file and I apologize for the delay in responding back.
I had a look at your file and everything seems to be working fine at my end. The content in the text boxes were reading fine.
As per my observation, once the module loads, clicking on the TAB, it directly navigates to the dial icon and depending on the dial value the corresponding text box state changes. Once all the text boxes changes to normal state, then click the TAB button and it popup message (refer to screenshot) saying "Back to top" and select "Enter". By selecting that, you will be able to access the text boxes in the same order that you have specified in the FOCU order by using the down arrow key.
Hope you'll be able to move forward with this!!
Thanks Sandeep. You are saying you have to go through every dial setting, 1-6 first and only after that the text will read out, using the tab key? That might be a getaround but very complicated and how would anyone else know this? The dial is therefore pointless in this case.
Yes, initially we need to get through all the dial steps 1-6 and let the text boxes change their state to normal. After that click on the TAB so that it popup appears which I specified earlier and then click ENTER. Only after this you will be able to navigate through the text boxes using down arrow keys.
User will only be able to guess once they click the tab button as the screen reader will read out loud as "Back to top" button. I'll take a look at your file again and see if I'll be able to sort our something.
