Exporting Transcripts from Storyline
Hello,
I need to export transcripts from exsisting storyline projects in order to create an external document that is AODA/ ADA compliant. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that. Thanks

Has a feature been created in Storyline yet to support this type of use case? I can only find two options, neither of which is really viable without much manual effort. 1. The export to XLIFF which renders tables, and the text is in the order it was created on the screen, not necessarily in the logical order it appears on the screen; and, 2. The publish to Word, which renders the screens as JPGs making the text not editable.
Hi KarenAman-7f323,
Thanks for checking in on this.
Currently, Storyline does not support exporting a complete, editable course transcript for accessibility documentation. The available export options (Word and XLIFF) are designed primarily for translation workflows. This can prevent the output from appearing in the same logical order as it does within the course itself.
I understand that having a feature to reduce the amount of manual effort could improve the authoring experience. I've submitted this as a feature request on your behalf, and we'll notify you if we release a future enhancement that helps!
Here is a free solution that will export a transcript of your captions while playing the course in your browser.

I hope this helps.I typically keep my transcript for each slide in the Notes area. When I export the course to Word, the Notes come out along with the slides. It's been a great practice for me as our Legal team to annual/biannual reviews, and they can easily read through and edit the text.
If you have closed captions, you can export those under the Audio Tools options when you've selected your audio item on a slide. You could then compile your exported captions into a document.
