While I like the convenience of the text to speech feature, my users tell me that they do not like it because it is so obviously computer generated. Are there any plans to make the voices more "human"?
Hello, Training Grunley! That's a great question. Our team is brainstorming ways we can improve the text-to-speech feature. Folks in the community have requested that we allow for custom pronunciation, control over speed, ability to insert pauses, and so on. All of those things would help to humanize the voice!
We're taking each one of these requests into consideration as we plan for new features to add to Storyline 360 in the future. Thanks for your input!
