Welcome & Introductions

Brian Waters here from Lydney in the United Kingdom. Am I the only Brit here? I did have a quick scan but didn't see any more. I work for Sage software and am a Senior Instructional Designer.

I produce with Storyline (mostly self taught or taught by watching my colleagues) in various companies over the last X number of years. I have used Rise 360 as well although it isn't tool of choice at the moment. Currently creating learning with AI text to speech and believe the Storyline voices are the best quality there is anywhere. Don't do much else with AI Assistant at all because we are primarily internally template driven, and have fairly strict branding guidelines and style guides to follow. Looking to see how else Articulate's AI assistant can shave time off for time strapped content developers. 

I have a dog (Nacho) 🐕- he's a forever hungry 3 year old Sprocker Spaniel in liver and white colour) and a cat (Sparkle) 😺- She's a tabby, 12 year old, the boss of the house, does what she likes - when she likes, and is very affectionate when she wants something, and when she's not busy sleeping. 

I myself am 62 years of age - and some might say long in the tooth, but am no dinosaur. In other news, I am sitting my motorcycle test on the 6th March, and will be looking to buy a motorcycle of sorts as soon after that as possible - just put it down to a rather late mid-life crisis! 🏍️ *The attached photo is the last time I rode a motorcycle - 41 years ago!

*Oh, and by the way, this piece was written WITHOUT the help of AI - hence the spelling and typos.
