Accessibility differences between Lectora 18 and 19
August 20, 2020 12:00 AM
Are there significant updates to Lectora between version 18 and 19 with regard to accessibility? I'm at a loss searching for specific documentation and release notes specifically pertaining to accessibility.
I’m still having a few issues with the reading order in JAWS/NVDA…
For example, in a colleagues course, a page with only one image and one text block (containing 3 paragraphs), where the JAWS reader skips reading the first paragraph entirely – or things like the reader mentioning, "Submit button unavailable. To activate press enter.", a curious instruction to try and get the user to select a disabled button.
We're using L18 and have had push-back from our department regarding an update to L19. Accessibility is a very large ask from my client and some specifics would be helpful to make a case for the update.
Thanks,
-Darrell.

Hi Darrell,
There were 2 new accessibility features added to v19:

For the complete list of new features and bug fixes checkout the v19 release notes.
Regarding your JAWS/NVDA issue, we have a bug related to what you describe in our backlog. Hopefully we will get that fixed soon and out in a future release.
One suggestion I've heard related to this issue is to have the user trigger a read all from the top of the page by using the key combination INSERT + DOWN ARROW keys.
