Is there a trigger for video transcription?
Hi All
My client wants me to add a button to a slide that enables video transcription to pop up rather than using the inbuilt button on the player. Is this possible?
You're too kind, LisaListama-d6a Happy to help.
Here's a quick demo that shows how the same bit of code can be used in 3 different ways to:
- Toggle the Transcript on/off with no effect on the Closed Captions
- Toggle the Transcript on/off and 'kill' the Closed Captions
- Toggle the Transcript 'on' and Captions Closed 'off', and vice versaYou definitely don't need both Transcript and Closed Captions, so Slide 2 or Slide 3 is probably the best use case.
Hope this helps?
Hi Lisa, unlike the caption feature, it's not currently possible to toggle the transcript feature using a built-in variable.
But I have achieved this using a Javascript trigger, as seen in this demo:
Is this what you're looking for?
If so, I'll share the code here.
Hey Jonathan! Firstly, you are my storyline guru, and I've been stalking your work for a while. I'm so thrilled you messaged me with assistance. Yes, I'd love to have the code if that's ok with you. Thank you so much :)
