Captions for an audio file in Rise?

I'm probably being dense an not seeing it. How do I add closed captions to an audio block in Rise? I see the (+ Add a caption), but don't see a spot to add close captions or import srt/vtt files.

We are a company that advertises WCAG AAA compliance in all of our eLearning courses. Please add us to the list of folks requesting support for audio CC functionality. It is needed anywhere audio can be included. 

Any update on whether this can happen and what a potential timeline might be?

Thanks!

    Hello DrSusieDish,

    Thanks so much for reaching out!

    While I don’t have a timeline to share for closed captioning in Rise 360 audio just yet, I’ve added your feedback to our existing feature request. If anything changes, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.

    In the meantime, you might be interested to know that we’re exploring a related feature for audio transcription in Rise. It’s currently on our roadmap.

    Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have more questions or ideas. We always appreciate hearing from you!

      Hi, Eric! Do you have any idea when this feature will be available, even if it's a rough estimate?
