Storyline can't transcribe audio by itself at the moment. Your fastest way around this would be to export the clip, upload it into YouTube (set as private), then export the generated SRT, before finally importing back into SL360.
I am working through these steps... i created an audio clip, exported it
did two files .mp3 and .wav I went to you tube to upload and it did not
work...says there is no video just audio....now what? :)
I'm not near a PC right now, so I can't guarantee this works (although it used to), but try renaming your mp3 file to mp4 before uploading. This should hopefully be enough to cheat YouTube into think the file contains a video stream, even though none is present.
If all goes well, it should upload fine and you will be able to generate, edit and export your captions just fine.
Snap... YouTube is much cleverer these days. The only other thing I can thing of right now is to pass your audio through one of those online converters (such as zamzar) and convert to video, or use an offline video converter app (such as xilisoft or other free solution).
It's a pain, but still faster than going through the process of manually transcribing away...

Hi Robyn,

Hope this helps,

Hi it did not work :( Good idea though! 360 really needs to be able to
convert audio to the closed caption....

Ok thanks! For now I am going to add a marker and put the narration in
there :)
