screenreader says 'clickable' when a textbox is a heading
Thank you JoseTansengco Great idea. I'll start a new post to get the community input with screenreaders in combination with Storyline.
I also found some valuable information with a lot of promising and useful links about screenreaders: NVDA Screenreader | Articulate - Community
Hi DouweHarder!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing when using the NVDA screen reader!
I had a somewhat different experience while testing the scenario you described. I observed the NVDA screen reader announce "clickable frame main landmark". Which is an ARIA landmark. Screen reader users are able to understand items on the screen and navigate to them, by using these landmarks. However, this dictation was was announced regardless if I had a Heading applied to my text, or not.
Also, are you testing your course in a published output, and not as a preview within Storyline 360? That is the recommended practice for testing.
With your permission, I'd like to take a closer look at your .story file to investigate this further. Do you mind uploading a copy here in the discussion, or privately through a support case? We'll delete it from our system as soon as we're finished troubleshooting!
Hi StevenBenassi, thank you for jumping in. I am testing in Scormcloud. Herewith a link with 3 slides, with other issues as well. NVDA screenreader jumping to the last object in the focus order after an interaction and skipping a lot of objects. Observations are included in the storyline file and scormcloud link.
The behaviour is not always consistent. Sometimes it goes wrong, sometimes it doesn't go wrong. (Most of the times wrong)

Hello DouweHarder,
Thanks for the additional information. We tested the behavior and confirmed we could consistently replicate it using NVDA. What's strange is that the behavior appears specific to NVDA, so you shouldn't run into the same behavior if you use JAWS to read your courses.
If you'd like to change this behavior and continue using NVDA, you can uncheck the "Clickable" announcement in the settings as a workaround.
Hope this helps!
