Inserting English word into translated text?

Feb 12, 2024

Hello! Does anyone know how to have the text-to-speech say a word in English, but the rest of the text/translation is in German (or any other language)? 

I need Hans to say: "Exiger" (Ex-ee-jur) in English and then continue on with the German text. I have tried spelling it out and it sounds off still - I tried quotes and parentheses and no luck either.

Try using the SSML markup as described here: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/storyline-360-converting-text-to-speech#neural and here: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-SSML-Support 

You may also try using what you have shared without the hyphens (so, ex ee jur). I've had some success with dropping hyphens and getting the audio output I need.
