Have Closed Captions generate as a variable

I am working on a project, where I have a character who is talking to the user and going into scenarios. Rather than create caption shapes and then typing all of the speaking points out and matching it to the audio on the slide, I was hoping to have/create a variable where the created closed captions could be shown in a text field or wherever else I want on the page rather than the standard top or bottom of the page. This way I could modify the way they look, where they are located, and reduce the time it takes to create conversation scenarios by not having duplicate work.

  • Hey Brett! I just wanted to check if you meant to have this as a duplicate post, let me know either way so I can find some more people to give advice if you'd like.

      Mary, 

      I meant to suggest it to the Articulate team and less as a discussion with the heroes. It seems that some people have found a solution to the problem that I presented, but it involves a number of steps that I am completely unfamiliar with. I was hoping to bring this suggestion as an idea to the staff to see if something like this could be implemented into Storyline 360 in a future patch and be something I could use in the near future. 

       

      Thank you for checking in.
