The number of keys that are wrongly displayed for Spanish is not too high. You need to clone them, use some graphics application to craft the correct keys at the resolution of your project, and then place them. So no matter what you do, the callouts you create within Camtasia will never look like the keys produced by Generate keystrokes. If you have used Camtasia before, at this point you are probably thinking that you can create your own callouts to match the style of the keystrokes and place them over the offending ones.īut alas, Camtasia doesn’t use any of its own native callout styles to create the keystroke callouts. When you spell out “left arrow” instead of showing a left arrow… well, it takes a lot of space and calls for a very small font, as shown in the sample below. There are also some keystrokes that are not necessarily wrong, although I don’t see the need to spell them out, just as they aren’t in the English keyboard. Here is my snag list for Spanish: Actual keystroke The reason is that while Camtasia knows exactly what keys are being pressed and has demonstrated its ability to speak languages (at least with keys), some generated callouts don’t name keys correctly. I am currently working on a Spanish project and, alas, I won’t be able to use the Generate Keystrokes functionality “as is”, without a lot of additional work. This is especially true in multinationals where the application software may be available in a single language, but is being used by employees of many nationalities, with equal training needs. Although some captures are language-dependent and require separate recordings, there are also instances where a single recording is valid in multiple language projects just by generating the keystrokes again in the target language. If you are in the business of producing multilingual elearning, this is a very nice feature. If your computer is configured with multiple keyboard layouts, all you have to do is switch to the language you want the callouts in (by pressing Alt+Shift or Windows key+Spacebar repeatedly until you get to the desired layout, as indicated in the Windows taskbar) and then use Generate callouts. The crucial stage is when you invoke the Generate callout dialog from within Camtasia Studio, during video edition. Windows taskbar showing currently selected keyboard layout
