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 used audio blocks in a recent project, so please add our +1 (or +8 if I'm speaking for the whole team 😉) to the request to add captions to audio blocks in Rise 360. Even without a captioning feature we were able to meet the standard to provide captions for prerecorded audio content in two ways:
- By including the audio transcript as text on the page, in paragraph blocks. This worked well for shorter audio files and gave learners the option to read instead of listen.
- By including the audio transcript as a downloadable pdf immediately below the audio block.
