2 improvements I would like to see for Closed Captions in StoryLine 360
I am so glad that Storyline has a nice and easy way to incorporate Closed Captions for our projects to help those with hearing impairment. But here are a couple of features I would like to see that ...
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.
Two 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.
- Customize the foreground and background colors of closed captions to complement your course design and maintain contrast accessibility
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.
Have there been any updates on this? I have a client requesting to change the positioning of the CC text. Wondering how to do this.
Hi Sarah!
We've logged this as a feature request to customize the placement and color of closed captioning. We don't have this feature on our immediate roadmap, but we'll report back to this discussion when we have an update. You can stay up to date with what is on our radar by bookmarking the roadmap!
Thanks so much Lauren for the update on this. Great to hear. I imagine you will do this but don't forget to add the font size as well as placement and colour. Take care.
Hi, Rick,
You can adjust the caption size. That's done via the Player font size:
However, as shown in the image above, that also controls the size of the player-level text, such as the project Title and the PREV and NEXT buttons.
So the real request for Articulate: Add a separate control for the Captions font size!
