Inconsistencies with Screen Readers
Hi Matthew!
Thanks for sharing what you're experiencing with your Four-column grid gallery block when testing with JAWS.
I am unable to replicate this behavior, so I'm curious how you are navigating your course.
To navigate your course effectively, it's important to understand how screen readers interact with images and their alt text. Alt text on images is non-interactive, which means if you're using the tab key to move through the course, the screen reader won't announce this text. However, when an image is set to become interactive through the "enable zoom on image click" feature, it changes how you should navigate.
To ensure the screen reader reads out interactive elements and text, use the down arrow key instead of tabbing. If you prefer hotkeys, the 'G' key is your go-to for moving between images.
