Bring scenarios to life with Storyline's Content Library characters and images. Add narration quickly and easily using the text-to-speech feature.

Personally, I don't prefer a robotic voice and I suspect it could turn off learners. If you're on a tight budget and have a decent ability to read with good inflection and tone, invest in a $50 mic like a Blue Snowball, and be the voice over talent yourself.

I, too, do my own recordings and use a Blue Snowball. Here's the fun part: for the best sound quality, I use a Rubbermaid box, padded with foam that I think is really sold for a bed, I stick the Blue Snowball inside it, put my head in to record...and the pièce de ré·sis·tance: I do all my recordings in my walk-in closet. I tell the folks in the office I'm doing recordings at home, but they have no idea what I do when I get there. :o)

I use TTS all the time for my courses; however, I find that I have to manipulate TTS to get the desired results. Case in point: Course heading 275. TTS calls it two-hundred seventy-five so I type in two-seven-five to get the desired result. The same is true for certain acronyms like AWEA (American Wind Energy Association), which is pronounced aWEEah. The TTS voice of Matthew doesn't sound as robotic as the other voices. I still think this is one neat feature and will continue to use it.

Gives me lots of ideas! Thank you for sharing.

The thing about the voice to text.. you have that to use when you don't have someone willing to record for you. I'm fortunate in that I can use voice to text to build the basics. Then when showing the scene/slides to my team - they have something to work with and we have time to get the recordings done in house or through a service.

I can't seem to find this in a download or a template. Other users have commented that they were able to notice the voice-to-text feature, but all I can see is a static image, and not the project.

For TTS, I'm using Google Cloud TTS API. It sounds a bit more natural than TTS in Storyline.

I'm really liking the TTS for the review process on a course I'm currently working on. I don't want to take the time to record narration that will have to be re-done if my reviewers want different verbiage. But I just don't know if I can get past the robotic tone for the final product. I purchased the Samson Go mic after reading reviews that it was a good mic for the price and used it for another course, but I wasn't impressed. Sounds like I should have gotten the Blue Snowball!

Hello, is it possible to share this template with me? I love this! Prime example of impactful learning without all the onscreen text! Less is more in many instances!
