How to generate closed captions with imported text-to-speech

Aug 30, 2022

Hi, 

I've imported voiceover as wav files into my storyline project. I got tired of the poor quality Articulate text-to-speech, but that's another story. I now have a play.ht license, which is great. 

But, now I need closed captions for the wav files. Any help how to do this would be great. Am I too naive to hope there's an automatic way of doing this?

Thanks, 

Michael.

Hi Michael, 

Thanks for reaching out!

Storyline 360 currently doesn't have a feature for generating Closed Caption files, but if you're willing to convert your audio files to video, you can upload the converted video files to Youtube and use its Automatic Captioning feature to generate your caption files. 

I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team for a caption generator feature, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!
