Using A Custom Keyboard Tap Sound; Checking Spelling In Adobe Captivate Projects - Adobe CAPTIVATE 2-USING CAPTIVATE Use Manual

Using a custom keyboard tap sound

Adobe Captivate includes a feature that records a keyboard tap sound whenever you press keys on
the keyboard while recording a project. You can include or exclude the tap sounds. You can also
create a custom keyboard tap sound to use.
To use a custom keyboard tap sound:
Create a new sound for keystrokes, or use an existing MP3 file (for example, one of the
1.
Windows sound files).
Name the new sound file KeyClick.mp3.
2.
Save the file and note the location to which the file is saved.
3.
Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Adobe Captivate Sound Effects folder. (The default
4.
location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Gallery\SoundEffects.)
Locate the file named KeyClick.mp3. This is the Adobe Captivate default keystroke sound file.
5.
Note: Before overwriting the file, you may want to copy and place the original KeyClick.mp3 file in
a backup folder so it can be used again if necessary.
Copy the new keyboard tap sound from the location in step 3, and paste it into the Adobe
6.
Captivate Sound Effects folder.
Check that the keyboard tap sounds option is selected.
