Rise 360 doesn't have full screen reader support yet. If you use a screen reader on a Rise 360 course now, you may find that it doesn't perform well. We'll let you know when screen reader support is ready!
It would be great, this functionality could be included into Articulate output to support Jaws Screen reader at user end. Is there any timeline that this can be available to rise?
in the latest Rise update , how can be the keyboard shortcut use for text block access for the screen reader. Currently i am unable to access text block by using Tab key.
Tab key will only navigate to the interactive elements in your course. By interactive, it means the objects that you can click to perform specific tasks such as buttons & hyperlinks. You won't be able to tab to the text elements because they are not interactive.
If you are using a screen reader and would like to read all the visible elements in your page, whether it is interactive or static, you must utilize the screen reader's navigation controls.
I strongly recommend to check out documentation how to navigate a page using screen readers. Webaim.org is a great resource to get you started with Screen Reader usage. Here are the links for Mac's Voice Over and JAWS.

Hi SibaPrasad,
While I don't have a specific timeline for screen reader support, we're still on track for Rise 360 to be fully accessible by the end of 2020.
