Text Entry - issue with apostrophes
Nov 28, 2014

Hello,
I'm currently building a Text Entry exercise where I need the students to insert answers like 'couldn't', 'mustn't', etc. However, it seems like Articulate Storyline 2 is not recognising it as a valid answer - despite submitting the right answer, it still gives me a Try Again or Incorrect feedback. However, if I change the correct answer to 'could not' and submit that same answer, it comes up with a Correct feedback. I'm thinking that perhaps there's an issue with Articulate recognising apostrophes?
Would you be so kind as to please give me some assistance in order to fix this issue. Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion Ankit, I'll give it a go!
Hello Ana!
This issue has been reported to our QA team for review. I will share any updates here when I get them!
I added a trigger to the "correct layer" that says show layer and added the conditions of when value is equal to (in my case) "shouldn't, and a second "or" condition when the value is equal to "should not". This returns the correct layer slide when either of those answers is submitted.
Thanks BJ for sharing that idea here as well!
Thank you for sharing all your suggestions!
Hi All!
Articulate Storyline 2 Update 5 is now available for download. It includes WCAG 2.0 support, several new accessibility features, better HTML5 performance, and bug fixes. Click here for details:
I have the latest version and this is still a major issue - I am using customized text entry and it still refuses to recognize apostrophes. Please advise.
Hi Allison,
As Emily previously mentioned it was fixed in update 5 as documented here. I do see that it's been reported to our team for HTML5 output only though - is that where you're seeing this behavior? If you're still seeing it in the Flash output as well, do you have a sample .story file you could share with us here?
