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.
I needed CCs on an audio block too, and figured out a workaround that may be helpful. A lot of people suggest using the accordion block, but I wanted the transcript option to be more subtle. Since you can't customize the header on accordion blocks, using that felt too large and imposing compared to the audio block it was supporting.
Instead, I placed the transcript within a marker in a labeled graphic block below the audio. I know we're kind of trading one accessibility issue for another, as screen readers won't read the image text... But it might be an acceptable stopgap until Articulate adds CCs to audio blocks!
