InDesign files

Can Articulate read InDesign files and use them as a basis for content like PowerPoint files?

Hi David,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to do.

There is not a way to directly import the content into Storyline as you can with PowerPoint, but you could certainly point to a published project and save created items as images to use within your Storyline project.

I'm curious how others in the community have integrated the two as well, and I hope to hear from others on some tips and best practices.

Hey Leslie!

Thanks for your response. I too am curious how the rest of the community may have dealt with this.

So we are pretty sure A 360 is where we're going. Yay!

Questions:

Since I already have licenses for SL 2, is there an upgrade discount for A360?
Are there training classes available (I have seen Live mentioned) virtual or local as in, in person? Other than Yukon if you're still affiliated.
Text to speech, does it perform similarly to Captivates? Different voices and accents to choose from?

Thanks!

Great news David :)

As for your first question, I'm not sales, so I'd follow up with our sales team on that question and you can reach them in a variety of ways. Simply scroll to the footer of our website:

We still have some training you can find on our website:

Online or In-person with Yukon

Articulate Live Webinars

I haven't used Captivate in years, so I'm not sure how the Text to Speech compares, but you can read the details about it here.

As for voices and accents available, take a peek:

Don't forget, we have a 30-day trial for you to try it all out too :)

How are you? I have activated my trial subscription. I am looking at the Rise part now. I exported once to Web, another time to LMS. Question is how do I view this on my phone? I must have a work email address? Is there an app?

Thanks
