Known limitations

We are aware of some accessibility issues with our website [including the following screen reader limitations: menu can't be navigated easily, slider controls on the homepage, focus order on a small group of components]. We are working to address these issues and improve the overall accessibility of our website. We plan to correct these screen reader limitations by end of 2025.We are also aware of accessibility limitations with the following components of the Evolve Authoring platform - infographics, branching, hotgraphics. However Sponge have developed methods to overcome these limitations and make these components usable with screen readers and for increased font sizes.The following components on the Articulate Rise platform are not fully accessible and we make all efforts to make these accessible for screen readers given the limitations of the platform - sorting activity, matching knowledge checks, image carousels, drag and drop activities.
