We've seen some Story Line output here. We find they've fixed some accessibility problems but not all.

There are discussions about specific accessibility issues in their discussion forums, so you may find more details there.

Ken,

The site we tried here wouldn’t allow for menu selections to change content as well as clicking on the next button would change the content on the screen but the screen reader would not see the changes. My guess is this is an implementation issue and I will dig into this :). Thanks so much.

The previous HTML5 version is completely inaccessible. Impossible to use for keyboard or screen reader. The Flash version can be made decently accessible with a lot of work from the content creator. And then, for screen reader users, you are limited to Windows for Flash accessibility, of course.

There is apparently a newly updated HTML5 version. I have not tested this yet.

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone had any experience with the accessibility of Articulate Story Line? We are being asked to evaluate some sites that are written with this technology and I wanted to see if anyone else has done anything with this product and screen readers?

Thanks so much for your time.
