Question

Cap5 - Auto text captions not picking up UI

We are using Captivate 5. One person had no text captions while recording even though that option was checked. We deleted her captivate_v40.dat and her captions work correctly. (Is that v40...for Captive 4...not sure why her problem in C5 is fixed) We had C4 and upgraded.

When I record slides I get text captions, but they all have the same text "Select". None of the user interface elements appear in the caption....just the one word.

Hello there,

Can you please let us know which application were you doing the recording on? Was it a Flex/swf/AIR/Javascript appliaction?

For recording on  Flex/swf/AIR/Javascript appliaction, some of the UI interfaces like menu items etc., will not be shown as text captions while recording; Only Select caption is shown.

Thanks,

Sushma

It is a web browser. My coworker is capturing same application and it works for her. I can't even get it to capture menus in Microsoft Outlook.

I am using a new text caption box that someone created for us. Could that have anything to do with it?
