Question

Is there a way to quickly make CC notes out of the TTS?

Hello,

My project has TTS notes that are marked up with VTML tags.  (For every line, I have at least 2 VTML tags to slow the speed of the spoken text because there is no way to change the spoken-text speed of the entire slide at once, let alone the entire project... : (   For this issue alone, I am looking at switching to Storyline.)   Anyway, I also have CC notes, which are essentially identical to the TTS notes, but minus the tags.

Question: Is there a way to copy and paste the TTS notes to the CC notes without doing 1 line at a time?  The problem with changing the notes under the heading "notes" is that you are changing both the TTS and CC notes at the same time, and for me these two will look very different.  In the end, I need to keep the TTS notes with all of their tags, and I need to have CC notes, which of course do not have the tags. If I could, with a single click, copy and paste all of the TTS notes to CC notes, all I would have to do is delete all of the tags..

   I am hoping that I am missing something that will make this a lot easier.  Next time I will create the CC notes first, but originally the customer didnt want them..

Thanks for any help!

Are you using multiple voices in each slide? If not, you can control the speed of each slide with a single tag.

Hey  Sreekanth,

I have the opening tag, <vtml_speed value="80"> at the front of each line, and the closing tag, </vtml_speed>, at the end of each line.

I tried using a single opening tag at the start of the first line in the slide, and the closing tag at the end of the last line in the slide, and it didn't work...

Hi

Here is the difference.

1.  This doesn't work.

2.  This works.
