Export closed captions in bulk?

I send a thought to R&D - have they developed e-learning in this tool them self?
When you have multiple scenes and slides up the wazzo and not only one language but several..
Simply put, current solution is a time consumer, a man hour budget killer..

Im currently facing 8 languages , each about 100+ slides with audio/ captions.
Im not liking the export one by one feature right now. I really would like it if R&D made possible something quick and smart in the heavy lifting in this.  Even a beta version i  would be ready to try as soon as possible.

This is one of these truly value adding features that can remove repetitive scenarios and automate those scenarios, That show we are dealing with developers that have them self's worked with the tool they are creating or they have product managers that have listened closely to their customers needs.

For now i will have to go through the pain and get things done and move things forward in a highly repetitive way.

Also the need to export / import all captions in one go. It is very time consuming to do this manually. Please add this to your new feature list @teamArticulate! We'd appreciate this a lot! 

I'm putting my name on this list as well. I just think it is a little absurd that there are this many requests and it can't be a part of the updates. When working for a global company that needs captions in 7+ languages for every slide this feature is very much needed. When exporting individually the timing gets off for the whole project and is a mess. This needs to be fixed. 

Hi, 

Original poster here again. Checking in to see if there’s been any movement on this request?

Same here.  Really need this one too for all the reasons that have been mentioned.

I would like to add my name to the list of those who want this feature to be added. I have had multiple courses in which the transcript was requested after publishing and it's a huge pain having to go through each and every slide to cobble together a script.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Add this feature soon!

Just figured I'd share with everyone that there is a free open source Windows app called Subtitle Edit.  If you work with captions at all you need to get it.  It's awesome.

It is possible! If you change the extension of a project from .STORY to .ZIP, you can extract the contents and root around in the all of the associated files, including the .VTT captions. 

First thing to do is make sure you are able to see your file extensions. Open an Explorer window, go to View tab > Options > View > disable "Hide extensions for known file types"

Now that you are able to see the extension for all file types:

• Make a copy of your .STORY project file.
• Change the extension to .ZIP.
• Extract all files from your new ZIP folder.

That should leave you with a folder with the same name as the copy of your original .STORY file. Open that folder and to the subfolder named ...\story\media

Here, you will see all contents of the project's Media Library, including the .VTT captions. The only drawback here is that the file names are randomized so you'll have to match them up with the audio/video files manually. 

I've screencapped the process in the video below.

I needed to be able to export captions (just the text, not the timecodes) in bulk, so I wrote some javascript that will export captions to a text document while progressing through the course. The attached story file provides an example. 

Publish the story to html, open in a browser, and click the Export Captions button.

A new browser window will open, and captions will be exported to that window as you progress through the course.  Remember to save the text before closing the window, or it will be lost.

Feel free to use/adapt the code for your purposes.

Unfortunately, no. Javascript can't be applied to the media library. And when Storyline exports to html, original audio and video filenames are not preserved.
