I'm trying to use the closed captioning feature in Storyline 3. Is there a way to export the course along with the captions for translation? From what I can tell, it looks like I'll have to export the captions as a separate file than the rest of the course. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Erin,
Ah, great question! Closed captions are not included when you export text strings from your course for translation, in which you'll indeed need to export them both separately. Here are some handy tutorials on translating your Storyline 3 courses as well as importing closed captions for narration and videos.
In the meantime, I'm going to submit a feature request for this option on your behalf to our product team! Please feel free to reach back out here or via our feature request form if there's anything else you'd like to see in Storyline or any of our other products! We love new ideas :-)
+19 This function is crucial, it would be great if it can be added soon. Thanks!
Hi, I've been waiting for more than 4 years now for this feature, and not only me, as you can see here ;-) We are producing at least one course a month with about 50 sound files and closed captions. It is such an annoying work to export and import the vtt files one by one for translation (it is the same problem with the sound files, by the way).
Since this request is already 4 years old and many users are asking for improving this workflow, I would like to know if you are working on it and when the feature will be available. Thanks!!
Hi all,
I built an app that takes a Storyline 360 file and produces an Excel XLSX report with all media and captions listed by slide. It can also generate captions from audio using speech-to-text, and integrate them back into the Story file to download.
I haven't tried it with Storyline 3, but if you want to share a Storyline 3 (or 360) file with me while I'm still in the testing phase (and assuming the app works with your content) I can provide you with the Excel report, updated Story file, and media files.
I can be reached at jimbertelsen@gmail.com .
Super cool, Jim! I don't need to translate my courses anymore, but I just wanted to say how neat it is that you've done that!!
Wow, thanks for your update about the Excel report with example images. I may reach out to you. :)
Thank you, Katie. I was figuring that was the case. Hopefully the feature request gets approved. ;)
+1 for the feature request for closed captions to be included in the export :) thanks!
