How do I activate the new Transcript button for learners to use?
Hello, I saw in this article: https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-Video-Transcripts#generate-transcripts that a person is able to now add a synchronized transcript from closed captions. I have added in the closed captions to the slides I needed to and I am trying to locate where within the "player" I can add the option to show the "transcript" button for learners.
I am currently using the Modern style, and menus/controls are on. For player controls I only see options for: Play/Pause, Volume, Captions, Playback speed, accessibility controls, full screen, search, & seek bar (no transcript).
I tried clicking on the accessibility controls to see if the option is within this button, but it was not. Where can I find the transcript button that was shown in the first image within the article? Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Also, I did not import my captions from another file, I just copied and pasted the text I needed into the caption editor within storyline.
Yes - I understand the difference between the video controls bar and the player controls, and that it's only available for videos embedded into storyline, however I think that's a missed opportunity to provide a transcript for files published as videos as well as a transcript pane for all training. We've been using a workaround for a transcript by renaming "Notes" to "Transcript," however that isn't real-time with the audio as a real transcript would be.
I found a workaround for publishing a story file to video: I took my published MP4 and then embedded the entire video into one slide and republished that in order to get a real-time transcript.
I submitted a new feature request to have a transcript option for all story files and not just those that contain videos. Yes, I know there are captions available, but those aren't a great option for everyone and they sometimes cover content on screen. A transcript is easier to scan the content in case you miss something or want to review.
I'm still so frustrated with this! I have read the articles, watched tutorials, and followed this discussion; but I STILL can't get the transcript option to work. I can see the accessible video controls, but the are not active because when I click on them nothing happens. (See screencast)
What am I missing here?
please upload here in the forum a .story file with your problem (only this singe slide with video)*
then i can test where the problem is - the .story file or your installation
* to really delete unnecessary content in the file, please save 2x after removing content
I'm not positive what you mean? Does this work?

it looks like there is a transparent rectangle (???) above the video, which blocks all mouse clicks on the video navigation bar
if you upload* your source file (.story) I can take a look at the project
*as attachment here in the forum (-> button "Add Attachment" below)
I don't know how to save just one slide from the project.
- duplicate the original .story file (-> new name !)
- open the duplicate
- delete all slides except the one with the video
- save the file
- save the file again ! (now other content is really deleted and the file small)
Thanks! Here you go!
"Rectangle 2" is the problem - hide the layer and the navibar of the video is working
but now the learner can navigate the video with the video navigation bar and then the video timeline is out of synch to the storyline timeline -> red arrow ...
