I recently attended the LearningSolutions 2012 conference, where they mentioned that there is built-in narration in Articulate Presenter that essentially reads your script to create narration (rather than having to record it yourself). Can anyone advise where to locate this functionality, if indeed, it does exist?
Hi Ron! Thanks for your reply! That was the functionality he was referring to, and I nearly jumped up and down, but then realized I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a roundtable around Multimedia Use in eLearning. He mentioned some additional third party vendors, so I'll travel down that path and start some research. Thanks again and hope all is well!
Another similar tool (from Adobe) does contain this functionality. There are plenty of Text to Speech engines on the market. I've used http://www.ivona.com for scratch narration. I'm not too keen on mechanized voices for my end-users, but I suppose there could be some situations where it's appropriate.

Hello Ashley,
Are you referring to a text-to-speech type of functionality? If so, Articulate does not provide that functionality.
What workshop were you in a LSCON? Maybe that presenter was referencing a third party tool of some sort.

Here's another thread where we discussed these tools.
