Turn off player tool tips/screen reader verbiage
Hi there!
I understand the need to have screen reader verbiage for the player but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn it off? Or, why is the screen reader verbiage showing even when a screen reader is not being used?
Also, the custom labels don't seem to be updating. I updated the text label to be "Continue" to align with the language of the player; however, the label will not update and still shows "Next (Ctrl+Alt+Period)".
Note: I am changing the custom text for Next button screen reader verbiage.
The additional label that appears when you hover on the next/previous buttons is really distracting! The pop-up/hover tool tip isn't helpful when the button text says what it's for.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Okay, thanks to this post by Kevin Thorne - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-to-edit-player-tooltips-to-match-custom-player-text-labels - I was able to find how to edit the labels. In text labels accessible from Player, it's under "Tooltip: Next button" and "Tooltip: Previous button". I tried to be sneaky and delete the text but this still leaves the ugly box even though no label was visible.
There really should be a way to disable or turn the player tooltips on/off from the player. A tooltip for the next/previous buttons is an unnecessary tip. I can see it being helpful if someone is using icons, but not if someone is using text labels.
Hi Lesley!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing a workaround! We do have the ability to disable the player tooltips logged as a feature request. I've added your comments to the report so we can update you if this makes it on our roadmap.
