Let’s break it down and see what you can do with this feature.
What is “generated text”?
Generate Text is a built-in AI tool within Adobe Captivate that helps you write or improve text content. Instead of visiting another website or app, you can stay directly within the Captivate project and ask the AI to rewrite, simplify, or even create new content based on your input.

What “generate text” can do
1. Rewrite any text

“Write a clear definition of personal development, followed by a call to action: ‘Choose to start learning more.'”
The AI will return a written result and you can choose to keep it, copy it or tweak it further.
2. Determine learning goals
Learning objectives need to be clear and testable. If your current goals sound vague (e.g., “Build meaningful relationships”), you can ask the AI to rewrite them into beginner-friendly learning goals using verbs from Bloom’s Taxonomy:
“Rewrite the learning objectives for Level 1 of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Knowledge) to state the learning objectives using words such as identify, recognize, or recall.”
The result? Clear goals, such as “Determine your career goals” or “Recall strategies for self-awareness.”
3. Improve readability
Sometimes your message may be overly complex or use buzzwords. You can ask the AI to:
“Improving readability makes text applicable to more people.”
or
“Change the tone for people unfamiliar with digital culture.”
This way, your learning content becomes more inclusive and easier to understand.

- rewrite text
- detailed text

You can copy the AI-generated text and use it wherever you want – inside or outside Captivate. You can also continue the conversation by asking follow-up questions or making more edits. Artificial intelligence remembers your last request and adjusts accordingly.
