I was wondering if there is a way to apply text to speech all at once to all slides. Right now I have to do one at a time and it takes forever. Thanks!
Although not quite 100% automatic, I have a solution that may just work for your needs. Instead of using Storyline, you would go to the source that Storyline uses, Amazon Polly voices.
Here’s what you do:
Get an Amazon Polly account (yes, there is some cost involved but doesn’t seem that prohibitive) (https://aws.amazon.com/polly/)
Save your scripts as separate files (MS-Word or Text)
Download HeroVoice TTS from the Microsoft Windows Store (fully functioning 15-day free trial)
Encode your files with HeroVoice TTS – apply a global setting for speed and even comma duration so your files are consistent.
Select the voice you want – these are the same as you’ll find in Storyline today including Neural voices (which aren’t currently available in Storyline)
After the files are created, you will then need to re-insert them, one at a time. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of a mass import into Storyline. Where you do save time though is HeroVoice TTS’s ability to batch process your script files.

Not at the moment would make a great feature request.
Hi Megan,
I wanted to share a link so that you could submit that feature request to our team if you'd like.
Please be sure to share how you would use this feature in the description.
