Captions for an audio file in Rise?

Hi Joe, one option that I've done is to convert the audio file to an mp4 (I use Any Audio Converter free and lots of options)

Then add the video block and upload your srt/vtt file. The only issue is that you have a large black screen showing, like below. I tried reducing the height of the mp4 file but Rise still plays it in a large block.

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!

I am also requesting this accessibility for audio blocks. 

Hi,
I would also like to be able to add CC to audio blocks. Accessibility is something that is really important to be inclusive. Please add my name to the feature request.

Hello! I know this question is from a while back--is this still the case? It seems like it is (I only see the "add caption" option that Joe the OP mentions), but want to make sure I'm not overlooking an update that might be there. 

Thank you!

Hi Joe,

You can add VTT files to videos, but not to audio blocks.
