Multiple languages for voice (video)

Nov 10, 2023

What are the options available for me to transfer my powerpoint (English) into other languages video (elearning content). I know we can use the powerpoint in English to create elearning in English. But we need to create in other languages as well. Does storylines360 have captions, voice in other languages from English? If not, if I translate slides into other languages first, can storyline convert them into the same language video? if not, what other softwares I should be looking at?

Hello Gyanesh Gupta,

Happy to help!

You can check out this article to see the list of supported languages and voices if you're planning to use Storyline 360's text-to-speech feature when translating your courses into other languages. 

Regarding your other inquiries, can you clarify what you mean by creating a language video? Are you trying to import your PowerPoint training into Storyline 360, translate them into other languages, and then publish to video? I'm sure the community will be able to help share some insights with you if you could provide more details on what you're trying to accomplish in Storyline 360!

The text-to-speech feature is a nice touch for generating quick VO and closed captions. However, it doesn't seem to actually translate text I enter in English into any other language I choose from the dropdown menu. Instead, the VO contains that cultures accent when speaking in English. Does that sound correct? Am I missing anything?

Hi Roy, 

Yes, that is the expected behavior. Just to clarify, the text-to-speech feature isn't a translation service. It outputs audio files based directly from the text that is entered. For example, if I were trying to add French voiceover audio to my course, I'd enter French text into the text-to-speech feature and select a French voice. Conversely, if I enter English text using the same voice configuration, I'd hear English text in the resulting audio but with a French sounding accent. 

Hope this helps!
