This blog explains how the new Generate Text feature in Adobe Captivate helps you write, rewrite, and improve eLearning content directly within the tool. It saves time by eliminating the need to switch between apps, making content creation easier for beginners, educators, and designers. You can rewrite text, clarify objectives, improve readability, or adjust tone—all in one place.
Have you ever jumped between different apps just to get the perfect wording for your eLearning content? You write something in Adobe Captivate, then switch to ChatGPT or Gemini to make it sound better. Now imagine if you didn’t have to leave Adobe Captivate at all.
Well, now you don’t! With the new ‘Generate Text’ feature powered by AI in Adobe Captivate, creating content has become quicker, easier, and much more fun, even for beginners.
Let’s break it down and see what you can do with this feature.
What Is ‘Generate Text’?
‘Generate Text’ is a built-in AI tool inside Adobe Captivate that helps you write or improve your text content. Instead of going to another site or app, you can stay right in your Captivate project and ask the AI to rewrite, simplify, or even create new content based on your input.
You don’t need to be a writer or know any technical terms. All you do is type what you want, and the AI helps you with the rest.
How to Turn It On
Before using ‘Generate Text,’ make sure it’s enabled in your project settings:
- On Windows: Go to Edit > Preferences.
- On Mac: Go to Adobe Captivate > Preferences.
Look for the Generative AI section and turn on all the options you want to use. For example, if your company doesn’t allow AI-generated avatars, you can leave that option off. Otherwise, just check them all.
What You Can Do with ‘Generate Text’
1. Rewrite Any Text
Let’s say you wrote a slide with a few inspirational lines but now want a proper definition of “personal development.” Just click the ‘Generative AI’ at the top right-hand side then select ‘Generate Text’ button, type your request, like:
“Write a clear definition of personal development, followed by a call-to-action: ‘Select start to find out more.’”
The AI will return a well-written result, and you can choose to keep it, copy it, or tweak it further.
2. Fix Learning Objectives
Learning objectives need to be clear and testable. If your current one’s sound vague (e.g., “build meaningful relationships”), you can ask AI to rewrite them as beginner-friendly learning goals using verbs from Bloom’s taxonomy:
“Rewrite these learning objectives for bloom’s taxonomy level 1 (Knowledge), use words like recognize, identify, or recall stating the learning objectives.”
The result? Clear goals like “Identify your career goals” or “Recall strategies for self-awareness.”
3. Improve Readability
Sometimes your message may be too complex or use trendy words. You can ask the AI to:
“Improve readability so that the text is applicable to more people.”
Or
“Change the tone for someone who is not familiar with digital culture.”
This way, your learning content becomes more inclusive and easier to follow.
4. Use Suggested Actions
If you’re not sure what to type, ‘Generate Text’ offers helpful suggestions like:
- Rephrase text
- Elaborate text
- Improve readability
- Improve grammar
- Change tone
- Change audience
- Itemize text
These suggestions give you a head start when you feel stuck.
5. Keep It Flexible
You can copy the AI’s generated text and use it anywhere you want – inside or outside Captivate. You can also continue the conversation by asking follow-up questions or making more edits. The AI remembers your last request and adjusts accordingly.
Why This Matters
Before, most people used tools like ChatGPT outside of Captivate. That meant switching tabs, copying content back and forth, and wasting time. Now, you can stay inside your course and work faster with less effort.
This is especially great for:
- Beginners who are not confident in their writing
- Teams who want to save time
- Designers working under tight deadlines
- Educators who want clean, readable learning material
The ‘Generate Text’ feature in Adobe Captivate isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a game-changer. You can improve learning goals, write better definitions, or just simplify your content in seconds. No more jumping between tools.
So go ahead and try it out. Type your ideas, ask the AI to help, and see how your content transforms right in front of you. You might be surprised at what you can create, all without leaving Captivate.
