Can I create closed captions on a project with only audio added, no video?
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.
One 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.
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.
Hi Julie,
Thanks for reaching out! That's correct, Storyline doesn't transcribe the audio and automatically create captions. It does create pre-sized caption boxes based on the audio waves where you can type or paste your text into!
One tip I've seen users in the community use is the Text-to-Speech option to generate captions automatically. This can be used as a preliminary set up to build a slide while a voiceover narrator provides the real audio.
Once the voiceovers come in, you can use the option to Replace Audio. That way, the captions are already set, and only minor adjustments are needed.
I hope this helps!
I use Ren's suggestion a lot, in most cases I use a robot guide track until final review and swapping out then just leaves a little adjusting of the captions.
