change default font on Notes section?

Hi. Is there a way to change the default font for the Notes tab of the player? If so, how. Thanks in advance!

  • Thank you everyone for sharing how important this feature is. I've shared this with my team and included your comments in our report. I'll be sure to update you when I have news that this is on the roadmap.

  • This would be such a huge timesaver. For accessibility, we include a written transcript of our modules in the notes panel so one of the current tedious tasks on every project is making the notes panel legible. The other problem we have is that when these are imported from PowerPoint, the notes invariably come in as black text over a black background. So another task we must perform is changing all the notes text to white text.

      Ugh, yes. Exactly why I posted this almost 2 years ago (8 years before other users posts with the same ask)… and still nothing, not even their canned response saying they have taken the issue to their programing team. So frustrating!

      For your transcript, my work around is making the player background “light” instead of dark, and in the section where you can customize the words in the player, I change the “notes” text to “TRANSCRIPT”. Then check that tab in the player.

      It’s brutal. In January 2025 (Canada) we have to be legally accessible across the board. The default 9pts and grey font is not compliant to accessibility.

      Come on Articulate – do better. This should have been done way before you started playing with the Beta AI stuff.

        Amen! I don't think companies realize that all these announcements about incorporating AI are infuriating when users feel there is low-hanging fruit (like improving the ability to format Notes text) that would make a bigger difference in solving their current issues. It just gives the impression that marketing is dictating the dev plan.

  • I will add my voice to this as well.  It would save a lot of time to set a default instead of adjusting the notes on each slide.
