Can I create closed captions on a project with only audio added, no video?

Aug 30, 2017

Hi all,

Just reading the release notes etc on the new features in the 29 August 2017 release, and noticed details about closed captions in Articulate Storyline 360.

I have a project with audio on each slide, with no video media. When i view Audio Tools Options, it advises there are no captions which is correct, but when i click the little "+" icon, it takes me straight to an explorer to find and upload captions.

2 questions:

1 - Can I create my own captions on a project with audio only, no video? If so, how?

2 - If i need to create closed caption files separately, are there any recommended third party web pages that offer this?

Thank you so much!
kindly,

Stevi

Hi everyone,

I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 86, we’ve included important fixes and new features.

One of the new features we’ve included:

Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.

Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
