Screen reader reads translated content in original language
Hello! One of my Articulate Storyline courses was originally written in German, and I have duplicated and imported the XLIFF file to create an English version of the course. I just tested it with JAWS and the screen reader doesn't recognise it's in English! It reads it out like a German person who has never learnt English in their life. While hilarious, this is not the outcome I'm looking for! My whole system is in English by default, including JAWS. Therefore I assume that the duplicated German course still tells the screen reader the content is supposedly in German. Where do I change this setting in my project, please? Thanks

Access to the Accessibility Checker
I don't have the Accessibility Checker on my ribbon in Storyline yet. I have updated my version. What do I need to do to have this important feature?

Announcing content.
I recently had my first Storyline 360 project audited and one element of the feedback was none of the slides announce content by the screen reader. What does this mean? Is each slide suppose to auto read some sort of description of what the slide is before they use their arrow keys to navigate the page? And if so how do I force Storyline to auto read a description?

Button Listener to move a character
Hello everyone I've dealing with a problem, I started a project, it is supposed to be an Escape Room, and most of the things I need for it are already available on Storyline. But I've been stuck on the movement of the character, it is a simple 2D movement, right and left, inside the room. The problem is: I already got it to move on a click, but it is just on that click, I want it to move as long as I keep the button pressed. This is the last JavaScript I tried to make it move: const button = object('5yfHufFxicy'); function moveWhilePressed() { button[i].addEventListener("mousedown",() =>{ const player = GetPlayer(); player.GetVar("MousePressed"); const currentX = player.GetVar("MoveX"); player.SetVar("MoveX", currentX +1); setTimeout(moveWhilePressed, 100); const objects = [ object('6EPGwyDzEfX'), ]; const positions = objects.map(obj => ({ x: obj.x})); objects.forEach((obj, i) => { obj.x = positions[i].x+currentX; }); }); } moveWhilePressed(); Not sure if I'm wrong on the EventListener, before I added it, the character moved, but the moment I clicked, it kept moving without the button pressed. I tried using Variables, but the result was the same, the character kept moving.

Accessibility Checker - Switch off accessible objects
I'm using the accessibility checker to make all my courses 100% accessible. I open the project file, run the checker and go through each line, one by one. The most common error is an object (rectangle / line / icon) not being accessible. Why does a horizontal line ever need to be accessible? So I'm going through turning them all off as they don't need alt text. This is painful, some project files have 000s of errors. Is there a quick way to untick the accessibility of all shape type objects. Icons from the media library are grouped and the main group and its elements all need to be switched off. The acc checker doesn't allow multi select and when in the timeline selecting all and unticking doesn't always work. Its taking forever!

Accessibility Checker Early Access Sign-up
Hello everyone, If you've noticed this on the roadmap or seen the demo at DevLearn last November, you know we're building a new Accessibility Checker feature for Storyline 360. The Accessibility Checker will surface potential a11y issues that could prevent some learners from getting the most out of your course. Even better, it will explain why the issue is important to fix, how you can fix it, and, in some cases, it will even fix it for you with a single click! We've been working hard on this feature for the past several months and are nearly ready to let a small group of customers try it out and provide feedback via our Early Access program. Participants in the Early Access program will be able to use the feature via the Storyline private beta and communicate directly with the engineering team to ask questions and provide feedback that will help shape the final version of the feature. If you're interested in participating in the Early Access program, please fill out this interest form: https://lnkd.in/eFAPU3KD NOTE: Not all customers currently in the private beta program will be able to use the Accessibility Checker while it's in Early Access. Once Early Access concludes, the feature will be available to all private beta users for a period of time before being released to everyone. Thanks, Ronnie
