Exporting all captions

Hello Rise, 

Since Storyline 360's primary function and usage isn't for generating subtitles, adding a batch converter that converts .SRT files to .VTT might be a bit tricky to implement. You are of course very welcome to raise this as a feature request to our product team here. I did however find this Youtube video which shows how you can convert .SRT files in bulk using a free third-party application called Subtitle Edit. 

Hope this helps!

Joe,

We too are having this same issue.  Produce a Storyline project and trying to get closed captions/subtitles to go along w/ the MP4 we publish.  We do produce things for employees for the LMS our employer uses.  But we also need to publish these is MP4 for general consumption by the public who may not have access to our LMS. 

I agree, Storyline's primary function is not to generate subtitles.  However, in this day an age of ADA I would like to think that Articulate / Storyline would help us stay compliant without having to go to a 3rd party vendor to generate subtitles for one of the formats Storyline allows one to publish a project. 

If this issue could be forwarded up for consideration it would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We love to hear from our customers about which features will be beneficial to their team, as well as to their clients.

We do have feature request logged for the ability to include closed captions when published to MP4, so this is still on our radar. I have linked you to the case and we will be sure to update you with any news should this make it onto our feature roadmap.

So, I'm guessing a batch export for all captions still hasn't been implemented?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for reaching out! We're still tracking the feature request for the ability to export all captions in a course to a single file. I'll add your vote and be sure to update this discussion with our progress.

Please add this feature asap! I am currently having to maintain transcripts in TWO places:

- a Word document with the transcript for the entire project (which is required by people (SME's, client, etc...) who do NOT have access to a Storyline license

- and the close captions in the file (which are necessary for 508 compliance).

The work flow associated with keeping to files is cumbersome and inefficient and will eventually lead to errors associated with having two different "documents" (someone updates one but forgets to update the other).

Please add a Storyline function to allow the EXPORT OF ALL CAPTIONS in a Storyline project using a single export command.

Feature request #03405753

Hi Sara,

Thank you for reaching out and taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Storyline 360! We currently have this logged as a feature request, and I've added your vote. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.

I would love it if all captions in Storyline could be exported in a file. For accessibility compliance and workflow, it would make my job easier.

Please add my vote to this feature as well! Export of all close captions. That would be great!

Hi Jannicke, Maria, Linn, and Kate!

Thanks for sharing that you'd like to see the feature to export all captions in a course to a single file in Storyline 360. I've added your votes to that request. We'll update this discussion once it is added to our feature roadmap.

Have a great day ahead!
