New in Storyline 360: Text to speech, object editing improvements, and more

Nov 14, 2017

By Trina Rimmer

Hello, everyone!

We’re so excited to share all the great new features in Storyline 360! Here’s what’s new:

Text to speech: Speed course development by converting text to speech right in Storyline 360. You can choose the voice and language, so every word sounds perfect.

Text-to-speech closed captions: Let the app do all the work for you to generate closed captions that are automatically synced with text-to-speech narration.

Object editing enhancements: Size and position objects with pixel-perfect precision. Workflow improvements make it easier than ever to format objects on your slide.

Fine-tune motion paths: Create perfect motion paths easily with new features that give you more control over how objects move around your slides.

Random numbers variable: Use the random numbers variable to easily build math problems, present learners with randomly selected content, and add gaming elements to your courses.

Check out our What’s New page to learn more about these features, and what’s new in Rise and Content Library.

Hi Julie,

It's not on the roadmap as a feature for Storyline 3. The next software update for Storyline 3 (coming soon) will allow you to open Storyline 360 project files that have text-to-speech narration. You just won't be able to update the text-to-speech settings in Storyline 3.

Take a look at additional details on this here.

I installed an update today, but the random number variable is not available in Storyline.

Hi JC!

You're using Storyline 360, right?

What version are you currently on? You can find it via Help > About Storyline

You can find details for the Random Number Variable here and it looks like this:

Thank you!

Hi Tom,

Once you start a screen recording there isn't an option to change the size of the screen that is being recorded. You'd need to stop the recording and start over with a new screen size.
