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 want to add my vote here for CC's on the Audio feature in Rise 360. It is a compliance issue for our agency as people who use readers cannot get anything from our audio transcripts. Thank you for your attention to this.
Please add my name to the request to add CC to audio blocks
We would like to amplify this request for CC within audio blocks as accessibility is a must. Thank you for engaging in this thread.
I would like to add my voice to requesting this feature as well. I could have really used it for a current project. I'm going to try Kathryn's approach.
Please add my name to this feature request as well. I use Moodle a lot and the default audio player can support closed captions, it basically puts it into a video container but it's still very useful! Many podcast players now also support captions.
Thank you

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