Can the AI Assistant implement character limits in CC segments?
I agree. This would be massively helpful. Authoring tools are most useful when accessibility norms are built in. It is an absolute time-suck that requires no design talent or skill to manually edit captioning lines. We are getting paid to edit line lengths instead of doing the design work that adds value to our organizations. Please prioritize this. It is a value add to every designer. It improves cognitive focus, prevents line tracking errors, aids restricted visual fields, reduces physical fatigue, enhances screen reader pacing, and reduces the screen real estate covered by captions. This adds value to every user, with and without disabilities. Bells and whistles are great, but basic quality design and accessibility should always be prioritized. Please move this to the top of the list. I don't imagine the programming lift would be that extensive for the value it would add for everyone.
Agreed! I did a little poking around, and it looks like some community members have already figured out some ways to code this--for example, Nedim's suggestion here: E-Learning Heroes | Adjusting the width of closed captions
I'll need to do some experimenting to see if this will work out for our team, but I'm happy that community members who are better coders than me 🙃 have figured out a way! 😊 That's what I call initiative! The Articulate community rocks! 🎸
