Note: If you create a transparent caption, avoid underlining text. In order to display underlining in
transparent captions properly, we must use a font display method that may decrease text quality.
Adding text for screen readers to a slide
Screen readers are used by people with disabilities, particularly visual impairment. A screen reader
can read aloud text that appears on the computer screen. In Adobe Captivate, you can write text
for individual slides that can be read by a screen reader.
To add text that can be read by a screen reader to a slide:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.

accessibility text.
Click OK and then click OK again.

Adding transitions
Transitions are a special effect that you can set to appear between slides in Adobe Captivate
projects. Transitions can, depending on the content of your project, create a smoother flow from
one slide to the next. Try adding a transition and then previewing your project to see how it looks.
Note: When you set a transition type, the transition effect only applies to the selected slide. If you
want to apply the transition to all slides in your project, you must select Apply to all.
To add a transition between slides:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Double-click the slide to which you want to add a transition.

From the Slide menu, select Properties.
