I'm really enjoying and shocked by the quality of the AI voices. I like pairing them with blocks of text to help the learners really drive home the important items that are being covered in the eLearnings.
Edit: To add to this and to answer another question, I guess something that surprised me is I could upload a handful of documents and resources and then it could give me some starting points of different ways to present the material. I used the AI Blocks to create sorting cards, flashcards, key points, and quick quizzes.
I agree! I was recently watching the eLearning heroes post about how you could add emotion to the AI voices using brackets (e.g. [angry] ) in the newest version and it was a gamechanger for a customer service lesson I was working on! I paired it with a dial so the learner could change the AI tone from one of four options and see how the customer responded to each.
This is a feature I’m really excited to explore more. In the past, one of the main drawbacks of AI voices for me was how difficult it could be to find the right inflection, tone, and emotion. I often felt like I spent more time searching for the right voice than working on the message itself. I was impressed by the wide range of voice options and the short summaries that describe each voice, which made it much easier to quickly narrow down the best fit.
Ooh, I didn't know this! This is good info to have. Thanks!
MelAngiulo I am not able to get the brackets to change the tone - the voice reads the words in the bracket (e.g. [angry], it says "angry"). Do you remember which video you watched to explain how to do this? I want to test it out/tinker with it. Thank you!
You have to make sure to change it to the v3 beta version in order for it to work (the "Multilingual" version doesn't recognize the brackets). I tried looking back to see which video I found it in but I've watched too many between eLearning Heroes and LinkedIn Learning so I wasn't able to find it again.
Whoa! Wha? I have to try this one!! Thanks for sharing that nugget!
I'm excited to try out the AI voices and emotion as well since they're using ElevenLabs now. We've had a standalone subscription but it will be so much easier to use it directly in Storyline. Your example of how you used the different tones in a customer service scenario is fantastic. Love how you built a dial to do that. That's a unique interaction. Would love to see it!
Ohh! I hadn't heard about using brackets before. That's helpful. Thank you for sharing!
This is such a creative way to engage the learner by allowing them to adjust the tone! Great thinking!
I did not know this...now I will have to try it!! This seems it would be really nice to add.
What a cool application Melissa! If you'd be willing to upload that as an exampleI'm sure others would love to see - no pressure though!
