Screenreader Text Entry

Hi TwoFirstDesigns​! 

Happy to help!

With a sample Storyline course, including a text variable, I tested the behavior on my end with the NVDA screen reader. First, I used the Down Arrow key to move focus to my text entry field, then I used the Enter key to switch focus to the cursor. Upon typing different numbers, NVDA announced each one as expected. When moving to my next slide, the Reference Variable (#4) was dictated correctly as well.

• Here's a quick screen recording of how it sounds!

I've also attached a copy of the sample file I used for my testing.

Do you mind sharing which screen reader you are working with, as well as a copy of your .story file so we can take a look at your design? Feel free to upload that here in the discussion or privately through a support case.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
