You can add slide notes and convert them into an audio file using the text-to-speech converter in Adobe Captivate. You can also convert slide notes to closed captioned text. Unlike slide notes, closed captioned text appears on the slide during runtime.
You can also use slide notes to communicate with users who do not have any audio equipment or are hearing impaired. Slide notes are also a good location for adding extra information about a slide, such as numerical details, supporting materials, or footnote text.

You can convert text in the slide notes into an audio file using text-to-speech software from NeoSpeech™. The following voices from NeoSpeech are supported in Adobe Captivate:
- Bridget
- Chloe
- James
- Julie
- Kate
- Paul
- Yumi
You can install NeoSpeech using the Adobe Captivate installation CD or download it from the Adobe website. For detailed instructions on how to install NeoSpeech, see Install text to speech converters.
Bemærk:
You can also use third-party voices or the voices installed with your operating system. See Using third-party voices for speech text.
When you use NeoSpeech voices, you can modify different aspects of the narration using the native NeoSpeech tags. See www.adobe.com/go/learn_neospeechtags_en to know how you can tweak the speed, pitch, and volume of NeoSpeech voices.
When you convert text to speech, the audio file is inserted into the corresponding slide. Multiple slide notes are merged into a single audio file and appear on the Timeline as a single object. You can also convert slide notes in the panel to closed captions in a single click.
The audio file pauses at locations where you have inserted commas or periods in the slide notes.
When you play the movie:
The slide notes are read aloud to the user.
The closed caption text on the slide is displayed to the user.
-
Select the check boxes in the closed captions column that correspond to the notes you want to convert to closed captions.
Bemærk:
The closed captioning check boxes are dimmed if the slide does not contain audio. If a slide contains video closed captions, and then you add audio closed captions, the former takes precedence.
If a slide contains both audio and video closed captions, but audio captions do not clash with video captions, both are displayed.
-
To change the font, size, color, background, and alignment of the closed captions, click CC Settings
.
Setting the appearance and position of closed captions
Bemærk:
You can style the appearance of the closed captions at a slide level or project level.
For example, if you apply RTF formatting on the original closed captions, it stays, then slide-level settings are applied, and lastly, project level settings are applied i.e. individual slide notes RTF formatting overrides slide level closed caption settings, which overrides project level cc settings.
If you want to reset the appearance of the closed captions to the project-level style settings, click Reset to Project.
You can also position the caption anywhere in the viewing area.
-
If you want to leave the choice of displaying the closed captions to the learners, click Project > Skin Editor, and click Closed Captioning.
The CC button appears in the playbar. While playing or previewing the project, click the CC button to hide or display the closed captions.
Bemærk:
The CC button on playbar can show or hide the closed captions configured for the slide during runtime, even if the author has unchecked/checked the show closed captions respectively, in the CC Settings dialog.
Also, the closed captions panel does not appear during runtime, if the closed captions are not present during that play head position in the output. Clicking the CC button on playbar shows or hides the closed captions for entire duration of playing the published output.
to remove closed captions.You can add closed captioning to your existing breakpoint projects and preview the captions in different breakpoints.
In a responsive project, the text captions are scaled throughout the projects.
