I found your video when I was looking for a way to increase the font size of the closed captions. It's a little small and I feel it needs to be larger. Can you tell me how to do this? Maybe make a video for others. I did find some of the content of this video helpful but also I learned from one of your other viewers about the audio text to speech feature that I'm excited to try out.
This was fantastic! Is there a way to extract the audio (speech-to-text) from an existing video in order to create a .srt file? Example: published a video in Storyline, now it is determined that it needs to have CC for the hearing impaired. The audio is already in the video, but can a text version of the audio be generated in order to create the CC in either SL or YT? Thank you.
The RUclips method might be fine for for a frame or two, but in my case, I have 125 frames that needed caption replacement (ENG to ESP). The hack method I used for generating the ESP captions (which works the same for ENG) is to copy/paste the script text into the Insert/Audio/Text-to-Speech feature, select any auto-generated speaker (and the language, if needed), and select the Generate Captions checkbox. Then, after the audio track is created, double-click into it, select all of the audio media, change to Silent, then Import the new audio file over the old auto-generated media. This will replace the media but keep the captions. Then, go into the Captions area and tweak the caption boxes to match the audio. It's a pain to adjust all the boxes, but it's not as bad as copy/pasting every sentence manually.
wow, es una gran forma de generar los subtítulos en poco tiempo, gracias por el TIP / wow, it's a great way to generate the subtitles in no time, thanks for the TIP
Hi! I was wondering if is the same just doing the transcript through an app and then introducing them in articulate? Is it the RUclips step mandatory? Or is it just needed to generate the transcript? Thank you!
Good question, Danny. You can control which elements appear on the Player in the player settings (you can select the slides in story view and then uncheck the box in the bottom right for next / prev button functionality as well)
Good point! I'd like to see something like that added in the future. Although, some of the auto-generated CCs aren't the best, so I wonder how much editing we'd have on our hands. Could be a cool opportunity for AI? Thanks for sharing!
Will be amazing to have another video on how to create accessible captions (tips/standards) Great stuff Devlin, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Geancarlo! And you’re welcome 😃

Cool, many ways to import the CC really helpful the way you shared the ideas.
Thanks for checking out the video, Shrikant :)
Such an useful information Devlin... Thanks for sharing.
You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching 😃
Excellent tip! Saving this for possible future use :)
Thanks Jessie!
Thank you for all that information, Devlin
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks, Devin. This was very helpful!
This video saved me a ton of time! Thanks!
You’re welcome!

Great workaround for a larger project. Thanks for sharing this!

Hi Devlin, thanks for this video. Is there a way to change the location of the CC box in Storyline?
Hi Purva! I am not sure about this. I don’t think it’s possible but there may be a way!

Hey! You don't have to use RUclips if you have another app that will help you generate that file. This is just one way to do it!
Hola, gracias por el video explicativo, solo que cuando lo subo a la web, se va la opción de activar los subtítulos, porqué es eso?
Hi Sandra, I am not sure why that option would disappear!
thank you
You’re welcome 😃
The closed captions always look so tiny in storyline even after publishing. Is there a way to enlarge the captions?
Can I do this and then download it as an mp4 and upload to rise?
how to create a video with CC that gives an option to on/off CC (device/laptop).
Good question! If you enable the player in Storyline, you can add that CC button that the user can turn on / off :D
does it support multiple languages?
How can I enable Closed Captions without giving the user the ability to skip to the next slide?
Good question, Danny. You can control which elements appear on the Player in the player settings (you can select the slides in story view and then uncheck the box in the bottom right for next / prev button functionality as well)
So long winded. For what we pay, I'm surprised that Storyline doesn't have an auto CC generator. Even Linked in posts have this capability.
Good point! I'd like to see something like that added in the future. Although, some of the auto-generated CCs aren't the best, so I wonder how much editing we'd have on our hands. Could be a cool opportunity for AI? Thanks for sharing!
