How to create a video transcript in Rise, that can be scrolled vertically ?
Can you tell us where transcript functionality is on the roadmap for Rise 360? Video transcripts are a basic accessibility requirement and using a workaround such as an accordion or tab block doesn't work well if you're utilizing button functionality that requires learners to interact with everything on a given page before progressing. Storyline also isn't a viable option if you have numerous videos in a course since you need to then manage a separate Storyline file for each video block. For us, the whole point of using Rise is that it's in the cloud and does not require our entire mac-based learning team to have Parallels + Microsoft to edit a course.
I support AllyRuizBalcerz request for accessible transcript functionality. I have just started exploring how I add in a transcript file in RISE 360 nearby or next to the video and the short answer is 'NO'. I can do (cc) via (vtt) no drama but the transcript file is going to be a challenge for those people needing to use a 'screen reader' to read text. This is for users with visual and hand mobility difficulties who rely on screen readers. This will be challenging. I will have to explore storyline but its not ideal and I'm unsure if a screen reader will recognise the text within the interactive SL block. I await in anticipation!
