136 TopicsIs there a way to create custom alt text for Hyperlinks
Is there a way to create custom alt text for Hyperlinks. When I create a text hyperlink I am not able to add custom alt text. When I use NVDA all I hear is the "name of text and link" and for the visited state it just says "visited link". If have multiple links in one text box there is no way for the non-sighted learner using a screen reader to know which link they are on after visiting them since they just say "visited link". I know the workaround is to use a transparent object to customize the normal and visited states with descriptive alt text, but that is very time consuming. Is there a better way to do this.33Views1like3CommentsTurkish captions not displaying properly.
Hi, team. I'm currently converting some English modules into Turkish, and most of the captions are not displaying correctly: The correct characters are there in the source file (first screenshot), but when published onto the LMS, some characters are omitted (second screenshot). Is there a way to fix this?16Views0likes1CommentFeedback Layer Error in Storyline 360 Screen Recording Software Simulation
Hi everyone, I'm building out an Excel simulation training for internal folks. Everything looks great, except for the feedback layers. I generally use the "Accessible" layout and our branding colors for feedback. However, when I review the course, I'm seeing only white text and no formatting on the feedback layer (e.g., no background, no graphics, no alignment) (see attachment). I tried creating a custom feedback template, but the same error occurs. I looked at the design features, but the colors/branding look fine. I've had some experience with screen recordings/simulations, but haven't encountered this yet. Any help or advice would be appreciated - this seems like a simple fix, but I'm stumped. Thanks in advance!! -ArynSolved20Views0likes2CommentsJaws Multiple choice question not pausing for periods when sentences are ending with a number.
Jaws Multiple choice question not reading/pausing for periods when sentences are ending with a number. If my first sentence end with "1." Next sentence, Jaws will not pause for the period. If my first sentence end with "1a." (or any letter), Next sentence, Jaws will pause for the period and read the next sentence. Temporary solution: Added a space before the period to fix this.33Views0likes4CommentsDark mode for Storyline 360
Hi there Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC programs. I jump from those with a nice dark grey to Storyline 360 and it's bright white window is a bit of a jolt on the eyes...

I'm having an issue with the new AI Audio feature in Storyline, as it relates to pronunciation and generating CCs. In the past, using Text-to-Speech, I often needed the voice to pronounce something differently than how the word appeared. I'd generate and insert the voiceover with "Generate Closed Captions" checked: "Welcome to Brivo." Then I'd go back into that voiceover, change the words to phonetic spelling according to how I needed them pronounced, uncheck "Generate Closed Captions," and insert: "Welcome to Breevo." This would result in correct CCs and correct pronunciation. The audio would state "Welcome to Breevo" while the CCs would read "Welcome to Brivo." I'm unable to duplicate this workflow using AI Audio. When I uncheck "generate CCs," it simply does not insert any CCs at all. I'm left having to waste so much time generating and re-generating audio in hopes that it randomly pronounces all my words correctly. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue? Am I just not using the tool correctly?21Views0likes1CommentNew Storyline Accessibility bug
Hello There seems to be a brand new bug since the October 22 update. When a button that was previously disabled is changed to normal, the screen reader and keyboard still pick it up as disabled - it reads as 'button unavailable' and is ignored by the tab and cannot be selected by the keyboard. However, the state shows as normal with the hover state working properly and it can be clicked with a mouse. This seems to happen in specific circumstances - The trigger to change the button from disabled to normal is "When the timeline starts on this slide" and the button has an entrance animation. Normally I would just ditch the entrance animations but it worked fine before the October 22 update when we accessibility tested it, the course including animations has been signed off by our client and entrance animations are blinging anyway. Here is an example module. The current version was published using todays November update and the slightly older version was published using the October 8 update to Storyline. I would also rather not roll back Storyline to republish as there are a whole bunch of recent bug fixes that I need. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/c5e0d117-32d3-4a2b-b91b-f5e4504765a3/review47Views0likes3CommentsDialogue accessibility
Hi! Just wondering if this is expected behaviour. When a dialogue is displayed and then closed again, the screen reader: Reads the label of the dialog after the dialog is closed (or it says 'dialogue' if there is no label) Once it gets to the end of the focus order, reads the most recently visited dialogue label (or 'dialogue' if no label) again. It seems to focus on the whole slide when it does this. It happens before it gets to the player controls. Bonus weird thing/bug: If you activate NVDA then click with your mouse on elements (including ones that are hidden from accessibility), when you go back to keyboard control, the elements you clicked on also get added to the end of the focus order before the player controls. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/985a380f-0762-4823-b2f1-62f0f3ba2bac/review13Views0likes0Comments
