Voice generation w/SSML requires internet connection
Greetings, all - I'm trying to use SSML tags in text-to-speech using Danielle's voice, and I keep getting an error message about issues with my internet connection. I can generate the voiceover without the tags just fine, and I can connect to other websites without a problem. Does anyone have an idea about how to find where the issue is in Storyline, or how to work around this problem? Thanks!Can the AI Assistant implement character limits in CC segments?
Hello, Articulate community! Just wondering if the Storyline or Rise AI Assistant can implement character limits in CC segments. Our team abides by DCMP guidelines, which advise no more than 32 characters (including spaces) and a max of two lines per segment. I haven't tried asking the AI Assistant this myself, but if this capability exists in Storyline and/or Rise, can anyone recommend an effective prompt to use to achieve these results? If this feature doesn't yet exist, could I submit a feature request for future versions of SL and Rise? Thanks much in advance. :)Rise Default Text Colour Pallet - Gone
Hi, I would like to ask the Articulate team, what happened to the default text colour pallet in Rise. There used to be a grid of colours for text colour changes, now we must input the hex code if the colour we need is not one of the two theme colours. Our organisation uses #313537 for 95% of text. Now instead of clicking this colour which was previously in the default colour grid pallet, we now need to type in the hex code for every text block which is frustrating and increases our workflow (see screenshot below). Unless there is another way of setting a greater array of theme colours (e.g. 5 or 6 colours) then this is another step backward Articulate. Thanks, Tony ThomasiFrame video becoming a keyboard trap
We have several Rise tutorials that use YouTube content embedded using iFrames. Doing accessibility testing, we recently discovered that these become keyboard traps. Users can tab into the content and play it, but the standard guidance of using esc to navigate out of the video isn't working and tabbing through also doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have insight into what we need to do to make this content fully keyboard accessible? Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!Menu titles on the left side cut off
Hi Everyone, Has anyone experienced the menu (on the left of the screen) cutting off part of the slide title? I'm attaching an image below. Could I fix this by resetting the menu? I have not reset the menu (yet) because I thought that might mess up my slide titles. Thank you. MaryAccessibility Visibility Question
Hey all - my apologies if this information is somewhere, but I've done some searching and can't find what I'm looking for. My team and I have some questions about the accessibility visibility feature. Do text boxes need to be marked as visible, or will a screen reader automatically read the text? Additionally, when you have items grouped, do you need each individual item to be accessible to the screen reader, or just the group? For example - let's say I make a custom button with a shape, icon, and text. Do I need all three individual items to be visible, or just the group itself? Thanks in advance! :)Rise 360: Implementing WCAG Guidelines for Instructional Designers

Hello, my fellow a11y friends! We just launched the new Color Contrast Check inside Storyline Labs, and it’s ready for you to try out! This feature integrates directly into your built-in Accessibility Checker, making it easier than ever to catch text and object fill contrast issues before you publish. No extra tools required. We want to build the best possible version of this tool, which means we want to hear from you. Turn it on in your Labs settings today, test it out on your current projects, and let us know what you think. Check out the New in Labs: Color Contrast Check in the Accessibility Checker post for more details!Rise's decorative image
I saw this was discussed a year ago, but I haven't seen any resolution. We are instructed to leave the alt tag field empty for Rise to mark it as decorative, however the screen reader ends up reading out the file name of the image instead. I saw someone else say that putting in the double quotation ("") is supposed to mark it null, but the screen reader is still reading it. Anyone know what we can do? I'm getting quite frustrated.
