Storyline and JAWS - setting course up and testing with JAWS
We have a course for a client that needs to be 508 compliant. We've been learning Storyline along with the rest of you (and likely, not as quickly), and trying to set it up correctly to also be 508...
Hi again Wendy, thanks so much for your patience! I tested this functionality in all versions of Storyline and got some insight from our QA team on exactly what we would expect JAWS to read.
Our output doesn't support a "real time" change in the state of a radio button. In other words, JAWS doesn't read "Radio button selected" as soon as a user selects it in any version of Storyline. So, it's expected that you would have to tab back to a selected radio button to hear that's it's checked.
In my video you heard JAWS read "Use the up and down arrows to change your selection." If you didn't hear the same thing, it's likely because we're using different versions of JAWS. This is a known issue our team is looking into, and I'll tag this thread to be updated as soon as we hear more on that.
Let me know if that helps to clear things up!
Thanks for the explanation Alyssa. I’ll need to add more user instructions I think.
