Exporting all captions
Hello everyone!
Happy to share that we've just released a new update for Storyline 360!
In Update 123, we've included essential fixes and new features. We've released an enhancement for:
- Export all your project’s closed captions in a single step.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help.
I am trying to see the difficulty in the development. You have the capability to select all slides and export the audio to a file.
Select all slides and execute the function to export the Closed Captions and iterate through the selected files.
If you can get us the individual files, we can get them into a single file.
I think the issue is that, while captions are just text, they come with time stamps. From what I'm reading in this thread-
- people don't want the time stamps
- people do want a transcript of the entire course
You can't style-tag the timestamps separate from the captions, because the markup language will interfere with the srt or vtt being a plain text document. So this ask requires Articulate to build some kind of extractor into the text-to-speech function ("write text to transcript document, and write text to captions document with time stamp; store those in parallel in separate places").
Going forward, a developer could put their language in the notes, copy the notes to text-to-speech, and just export the course to Word; but its not that easy to offer that output retroactively for already authored content. Articulate is a compositing tool, not an authoring tool. Developers, historically, looked for these needs before production.
