Hi Peter,
I'd love to help investigate this behavior!
Check out this quick video demo of my test with a Storyline 3 Update 10 slide and JAWS version 2020.2004.66: The tab order defined controls the reading order of text for screen readers. I also used the Down and Up arrows to move through the text and interactive objects on the slide, listening to each item along the way.

Katie, I have some questions in regards to the Tab order. We have question slides that become difficult for a user to understand when they only use the tab key. Since the tab key does not read the text it skips over the question itself and goes right to the answer options. If the user is using the tab key they would not have context on how to answer the question. Is this expected when using the tab key? Should a user only use the up and down arrow in keys in this case and never use the tab key? Is there anyway currently to make text elements also be accessed using the tab key?
