I had to alter all commas to "full stops" "periods" depending on where you live :) in the vtt file so that it produced the correct format that we found iSpring likes.Ĥ. I use Camtasia to create all my videos and it has the capabilities to allow you to write the transcript of the voice over and save directly as a vtt file.ģ.

As you say, a user would need to scroll too much and this would be pointless.Ģ. In this respect, we cannot use the Notes to generate the closed captions. We must have all the audio voice over for our slides in the Notes section of the ppt files so that these can be read in conjunction with the slide as a learner uses the course. My process is as follows for our standards:ġ. Kevin M I think I understand what you are looking for and I do believe that what we have achieved is the route you would need to take. If you are finding a way to do this and publish as a SCORM course - I would love to hear how you are doing that! It is just frustrating that other tools allow for proper closed captioning in video - and even PowerPoint now provides for it, but it seems to get lost when you publish the slides as a course. though even if a student had to click on the video to get this control, I could live with that as well. it sounds like maybe for you that works?) But what I would LOVE to see is the ability for iSpring to preserve this PowerPoint functionality of being able to include a VTT (or SRT) file and maybe even allow the CC button to work with the video player to toggle the Closed Captioning on and off on the video player. I do not need it to work to save as a video - as it is a video that I am inserting on to the slide to begin with, so I am not saving as a video (and have not tried that so not sure if that works or not. but it is clunky and puts all of the text up at once and a student would have to scroll and read all of this - and it does not correspond to the video. I know iSpring allows you to create their version of Closed Captioning - which essentially just has you copy all of the text from the video script to put in a box on the screen. When I save this as a SCORM course, however, I lose this capability. reading the VTT file and showing the appropriate text along with the video, as proper closed captioning does. PowerPoint allows you to add a VTT file and have the video you place on a slide toggle with and without closed captioning.

Steve Searle Hi Steve, is this working for you when you publish as a SCORM course? This is what I am trying to accomplish. Would LOVE to see this work with controls in iSpring!

Otherwise I have to make multiple versions of the video and make learning paths in the course to select English video, English video with CC, English video with Spanish CC or Spanish video with Spanish CC. Anyone else see this is a big benefit to e-learning publishing? I love the iSpring tool, but struggle with this one. Have asked about this multiple times the last couple of years, especially once PPT enabled this ability and it became a native function to the application.

This would be a HUGE win for iSpring to enable this feature, that already works within PowerPoint, to work in an elearning course and resolves a major ADA compliance point. PowerPoint allows you to add closed captioning (CC) to a video file and this plays when you watch a video in the native PPT file (insert a video on a slide to play as part of your lesson) - but when you publish to create the elearning file via iSpring, you lose the closed captioning ability in the video.
