  1. Retain items for whole project

    In Captivate classic we could insert items (like a navigation toolbar) on one slide and display it for every slide thereafter in the project. Please include that option in this version.

  2. Enable Edit in Audition like there was in Captivate Classic and in Premiere Pro

    There should be the option to edit audio directly in Audition, save changes and update in Captivate automatically, just like in Premiere Pro.

  3. Save project as a template not just a theme

    In Captivate Classic, it was easy to reuse slides from a previous project where you had done the heavy lifting of creating layouts, animations, etc. by just choosing File Save As, to essentially create a new template (and even save it as one) to more easily replicate what you've done in a new project.

    I want the same options in Captivate 12 to save the project completely with a new name (duplicate it essentially) so that I can just update and modify content for the new project.

    I don't just want to save the colors/fonts/ I want the whole thing…

  4. Captions in Multi-state objects & auto caption from audio file

    First: Captions should be generated automatically from an audio file as they are in Premiere Pro. We should not have to type in every word of a transcript in order to caption a project.

    Second: There must be a way to caption multi-state objects that have audio files attached that are triggered from a bookmark interaction on the timeline. This is an essential accessibility feature. It was missing in Captivate Classic as well. Fix this please.

    Thank you.

  5. variables number

    Variables numbers can't be display. I create a text box entry, assign it to num1 (a number variable) and cannot display it with $$num1$$. It works for text entry.

  7. Bug: Can't remove button text

    Select any button that contains text. Double-click / highlight the text and press DELETE or otherwise attempt to delete the text. Click off the button. Text returns. The only way to remove text from the buttons - but it affects the size of the button and isn't the desired solution here - is to uncheck the text option in properties

  8. allow people to add custom voices for text to speech.

    Allow users to add custom voices for text to speech. Also, when you have to break a sentence up, the program adds a space of blank air, making it awkward.

  9. Drag and Drop Widget doesn't calculate score properly when added to reporting.

    The scoring for the Drag and Drop widget doesn't get properly added to the scores from other questions. Most of the time it adds a 0 even if you answer the question properly. Sometimes it adds a 1 regardless of what you enter. I have had to leave these questions out of the scoring totals for consistent results.

  11. email hyperlink

    When I enter an email to hyperlink, it adds https:// to it and when the auto-filled email pops up when clicked, it won't send due to it being the wrong address. Not sure if this is user error on my part but I have tried everything to get this to work as well as the webpage links.

  13. Saving Captions as Part of the Theme

    I would like the ability to save changes to feedback captions like Correct and Failure as part of the theme. This would save me time that I presently spend updating each caption one by one.

  16. Text to speech panel open when moving from slide to slide

    I've been entering many slides of text to speech and I have to open the text to speech panel for each time I navigate to another slide. To me it would make sense if the software would keep a panel open until I select to display another.

  17. Multilingual support

    our courses have more than one target audience. we have videos on Sharepoint that historically we have been able to embed. This is no longer possible in Captivate 12.

    The videos in SharePoint are capable of hosting captions in many languages. It we cannot embed these videos anymore, we would need a way to accommodate captions with in the Captivate CC functionality

  18. increase the volume for recording audio

    When recording audio in Classic Captivate I have the opportunity to calibrate and can see my volume changing with the volume of my laptop.

    When recording audio in the New Captivate, while I can calibrate my volume, I don't see any difference on the calibration screen when I change my input volume from my laptop.

    The result in the New Captivate is that the audio is too quiet. I then have to go to each slide, individually, and reset the audio to best input in order to hear it. While it's a hassle to update each slide, the bigger problem…

  20. TTS - Connect to external speech services such as Azure Speech Studio

    Currently text to speech is extremely limited with legacy microsoft desktop and neo speech voices. Competitor products now provide the ablity to connect directly to new-gen neural speech generation platforms such as Azure Speech Studio (microsoft) and Amazon Poly. Ideally, text narrative on a slide could be generated in Azure Speech Studio with the click of a button and the audio is automatically placed in the slide. Currently I have to generate speech mp3 files in Azure, download them, then import them into Captivate which is a slow and convoluted process, especially if minor edits are required and the whole…
