Carousel Block in Rise Accessible?

Aug 18, 2022

When I use a screen reader to access a carousel block in Rise 360, I can get into the block, and read the title and contents of the first item. However, when I continue forward using my keyboard, only the numbers of each item are read. In other words, "1" is read and then the contents. But, moving to the next item, only "2" is read. The next object read is "3" and "4" and so on. In other words it appears that only the first item is fully accessible, and items 2-4 I cannot access.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

Hi Veronica!

We got feedback that the tabs interaction wasn't intuitive when using a screen reader. Interactive tabs blocks now use the recommended interaction behavior for greater accessibility.

  • Use Tab or Shift+Tab to select a tab in the interaction.
  • Use Left and Right Arrows to navigate between tabs.
  • Use Tab to focus on the content in the selected tab.
  • Use Shift+Tab to move back to tabs.

Are you having trouble with a gallery carousel block and a screen reader? If so, can you explain what you're seeing?
