When and how do you use audio?

I agree with Erik's thoughts. I would also add that the "accessibility" issue is addressed by adding audio - at least as an option - if any part of your target audience is over the age of 40, when eye-sight issues might be more prevalent. My point is that you don't have to be developing for the blind, in order to need, or want, to provide this type of accessibility to your end user.

HTH!

For many of our Captivate-based courses we show a summary of the points
on screen, often as bullet points, while the narration reads more
detail...pretty much emulating the whole PowerPoint scheme (a presenter
standing up talking to bullet-point slides).
