Transcript pane
June 27, 2009 12:00 AM
I've been using a document object at the main root of the course. Then on each page, use a change contents action to replace with the next pages voice over text. The voice over text is stored externally in ".rtf" files, which allow for formatting as well.

I'm new to Lectora. I'm designing a VO (voice over) led course and I need to add a transcript pane (where the learner can read the entire VO). I'm working on this but haven't been successful as yet. I've thought of adding a transcript button on each page, clicking which will open a popup with the text. But some text is huge and would require a scroll bar, which I cannot add using this idea. I'm importing Flash and Captivate pages into Lectora. Is there any way that I can add a transcript pane in Lectora? Please help.

I know this is an old thread, but I have a similar issue so I figured I'd start here. I don't want to give away real estate in my course for a transcript. I'm using pop-up new windows for a transcript of each page if the user has clicked a Transcript button. My challenge is that I would like to find a more dynamic way to build it. Right now I have 50 separate windows each with one text box, the transcript of each page per window. Then I have 50 actions on my transcript button that basically say pop open window 1 if the button is clicked and the user is on page 1. I have that command times 50! Then so that the user doesn't have to click the button on every page I have an action on every page that says, "if the person clicked the button in the past (which set the transcript variable to 1) then pop open the associated window.
There must be a cleaner way to do that with Change Contents and Variables, right!? Or am I killing myself by using the pop open windows?
Thanks
I haven't yet found a better solution to handle closed captions in popup windows than what I described in this thread:

Instead of having one Transcript button on title level I usually use one individual button per page that only opens the respective popup.
