Scroll panels - JAWs screen reader
Are scroll panels read properly by the JAWs screen reader using Articulate 360? I haven't tested the functionality yet and was curious on how to use scroll panels while meeting accessibility require...
So I have a question pertaining to this, I have a scroll panel, JAWS seems to read it fine, but if the viewer wants to follow along as it reads and attempts to scroll as it reads JAWS stops reading and then seems to start reading out the line numbers as you scroll, as in 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. The only way to get back to reading the text is the back tab, reselect the scroll panel and start over?
Hi Garry!
It sounds like JAWS text-to-speech stops reading if the learner manually scrolls through a text panel. I’d be happy to help!
I’ve tested this on my end while using JAWS 2023 and publishing the course to Review 360. I did notice the JAWS stopped reading but I didn’t notice numbers being announced. Can you share more about how you’re testing this interaction?
- Are you testing your course in Storyline 360 or a web environment like a web server or an LMS?
- Which version of JAWS are you using? I am using JAWS 2023.
- Which version of Storyline are you using? I tested this using Storyline version 3.73.29904.0 in Windows Parallels on Mac M1
I’m looking forward to troubleshooting this with you!
