Text Interaction

Hi Anna

hard to say without seeing your file - can you share it? Just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload.

See Scene 5 (Test Scene)
Click "Password" field... and it does not capture that I typed in "TrainingTest101"

Hi Anna,

Thanks for sharing your file. What kind of system are you recording? Is it a web-based tool, or installed on your computer?

If Storyline doesn't pick up the text entry, you can create one yourself by clicking Insert >> Convert To Freeform >> Text Entry.

I made that change in your file, and you can certainly import the text entry slide into your original file, if you'd like!

It is a web based tool.

Ah, I see! What browser are you using to access the tool?

Browsers like Chrome communicate very little information to the Windows Accessibility API, which is how Articulate Storyline collects information for screen recordings. In addition to missing caption details, Google Chrome may even omit some steps from your screen recordings.

Here are two ways to avoid this behavior:

• For the best results, use Internet Explorer to record your screencast. It provides the richest data set. (Firefox also works well.)
• Edit the interactions in Storyline after you've recorded the screencast to include the text entry slides that were missed.

You know what, I have been using Chrome, and I was using Firefox prior. 

Thank you for reminding me about the web browsers!

Thanks for the update, Anna! Be sure to give us a shout if you have other questions. ☺️
