Text NOT read by screen reader NVDA
Hi All,
We have a few activities like MCSS, MCMS, etc having accessibility. The focus order and alt text are correctly added for these. However, the NVDA screen reader does NOT read the content co...
We really require in depth video tutorials on accessibility experiences for different slide designs and interactions. We too are now on hold of releasing modules due to accessibility issues. Its hit and miss. NVDA reader does not always read the text, and still skips it at times even though the focus On settings are correctly lined up. Also how it works using video players in a slide compared to the timeline player. This is hit and miss.
@Darren: good feedback.
We have some accessibility webinars on the training site currently. We'll be doing more soon. One of the goals is to walk through how things should work with keyboard navigation and interactivity.
Outside of technical glitches, I think a common challenge is that many users don't know how to use the assistive technology like NVDA or JAWS in the same way an everyday use would. And, not all of the tech works the same way or it does have issues reading content (happens with websites, too, not just published courses).
And there is a balance between what the tools give you and what and how you need to build the content.
