Building a course that is navigable using Dragon (or similar)
Hi, I work for a Public Sector organisation, and want to make my courses as accessible as possible. I have alt text and reading order sorted, but wanted to ensure that my courses were navigable by voice navigation using Dragon or something similar. I really just need to know where Dragon takes it's name for the objects on the screen from. For instance, if there is an activity and the user has to select three objects, I want to be able to add in navigation prompts to the slide for instance 'voice navigation prompt - use raindrop 1, raindrop 2 etc'. Do I need to add alt text to the objects, or does Dragon read the object title that's displayed on the timeline? Or am I overthinking this, and Dragon makes it clear to the user what the object is called and so what they need to say to select it? thanks!AI Text to speech not updating closed captions
When I create a new AI text-to-speech file it adds captions just fine. * But when I go to update that file on the timeline, even with the "generate CC" box checked, it still has the old captions. If I delete the existing captions, re-generate the audio with the box checked, and save, no new captions appear. What can be done about this? * Also, the AI generation doesn't honor SSML very well. I can't correct its pronunciation of certain words without writing the prompt phonetically, then manually changing the CC every time I update the script.Player features in Lightbox slide not accessible
I was wondering why the player features (like captions, speed etc.) are not accessible within the Lightbox slide? The main slide from where the lightbox is opened does not contain captions, so the user cannot turn captions on or off in the Lightbox slide. There is no speech set on the menu slide, so a caption on or off cannot be activated. Is this a bug? I am using the modern player, in the settings captions and scrollbar etc. are activated.Rise 360 Challenges: Saving, Video Loading & AI Avatar Limits
Hi everyone, I wanted to share some of the challenges we have been experiencing while working with Rise 360 recently. We really like the platform and some of the new features are genuinely useful, but we’ve run into a few issues that are making the overall experience a little difficult. One of the biggest concerns is content not saving automatically. There have been instances where we’ve made changes to a course, though they were saved as it always does, and later found that the changes were not retained. When you’re working on course development for several hours, losing changes like this can be quite frustrating. We’ve also noticed that videos can take a very long time to load, which makes reviewing and working with video-based content quite difficult, especially when we’re trying to work efficiently. Another area we’d really appreciate some improvement in is the AI Avatar Video feature. We understand that this is currently a Labs feature, and we’re excited about its potential. However, the available token allocation feels quite limited for a feature that is being offered as part of the platform. Once the available tokens are used, there doesn’t seem to be a clear way to replenish or purchase additional tokens and continue using the feature. We also reached out to support regarding this, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to get a clear answer on how we could continue using the feature once the tokens were exhausted. We completely understand that Labs features may have limitations and that the feature is still evolving. At the same time, if a feature is useful enough for course developers to incorporate into their workflow, it would be great to have a clear and practical way to continue using it, whether through additional tokens, a way to purchase more, or another option. We’re sharing this because we genuinely see a lot of potential in Rise 360 and would love to make better use of these features. Hopefully, these points can help improve the experience for other course developers as well. Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced similar issues or has found workarounds for them.Activating subtitles / Closed Captions by default
Hello, I want to display subtitles by default on a video in Rise360. So I Edit the video and upload a vtt file. Then on the video the user can click the CC button to display the subtitles I choose. Is there a way where the learner doesn't need to activate the subtitles, and that it can already be on a defined langage (or the only one in my case), instead of the default: "Caption off"? Thank youAccessibility
Hi all, I'm hoping to get peoples thought/suggestions please... I'm in the UK and public sector so we need to ensure we meet WCAG 2.2 level AA by law. I'm working through the Articulate guidance but thought it would be worth asking the community if you have any advice on this, maybe what works well/not so well for you. If there are any tools that can be used to inspect the content or if it's a case of manually working through the content. We use a tool called site improve for websites which crawls sites and provides a report on what is failing and at what level but we're unable to use that for learning content. I've also just started looking at a browser plugin called WAVE which seem like it may help in certain situations. Any advice/shared experiences would be very gratefully received. Thanks, David.Screen readers not working correctly on Rise quizzes
Has anyone had issues with this? We have found that the Microsoft screen reader reads out the incorrect answers that have NOT been selected when doing quizzes. The screen reader will say "Your answer...[insert incorrect answer here]" when it has just said aloud the correct answer you have just selected. See recording here: Devices on the go | Rise 360 - Awesome Screenshot Is this something someone can help with? Is there a screen reader that's better equipped to understand Rise quizzes that we should be using instead? Many thanks,
