Question

Using slide notes for closed captioning

Is there any way to import slide notes into closed captioning? In our Captivates we use the slide notes to create a script for the narration. This is exactly what we'd want to have appear in the closed captioning, but currently we have to copy and paste the notes for each slide into the closed captioning dialog. Futzy and time consuming! Does anyone have suggestions for streamlining this process?

Thanks!

    Judi,

    I don't think there is a way to import slide notes into the closed captions. But, I'm using the Closed Captions to create a script document for the audio.

    1. I import a blank MP3 onto the slide.
    2. Right click the audio layer in the timeline, and then click Closed Captions.
    3. Type in the desired text you want displayed in the closed captions.
    4. Save the project.
    5. Export the the project captions and closed captions to a Word Doc.
    6. Have the script reviewed and edited.
    7. Import that same document back into Captivate. Your closed captions will be automatically updated.

    This is a nice way to create a design (script) document you can use to send out for review instead of placing your scripts in the slide notes section.

    Hope this helps.
