We develop online learning modules and import video and audio into a project then publish the files as swf and html files to load into our media asset warehouse which then loads into our own LMS.
The only way we have been able to figure out how to do closed captioning is to get the transcripts of the audio and video files that our transcriptionists create, then copy and paste them into the closed captioning windows on the appropriate audio or video attached at the slide level at the correct in and out.
Our old system allowed us to have time codes generated of the transcripts, then import the xml file into the system which linked all the time codes in the xml file to the time codes in our own player.
We want to accomplish a more seamless process by importing a time text file or xml file with time codes established outside of captivate and have them imported into captivate and "talk" to captivate time codes to create the closed captioning lines on each audio and video element.
We looked into exporting captions, but we would need to already know how many lines of closed captioning is needed on each audio clip as well as the ID that Captivate creates for each in order to add them to the exported Word doc. then import back in.
Looking to contact Captivate for this as well or to see if we can hire someone to create javascript each page would call up at certain time codes to display the closed captioning.
Any ideas or advice on 3rd party html5 compatible options, new features being developed, or alternative solutions?
