Storyline 2: Request for a Free Text-to-Speech Software Recomendation

Nov 29, 2015

By S E

Hi,

I am developing a New Hire Orientation module on Storyline 2. It requires script narration, in parts. Request your help with the same.

1) Is there a free voice recording Software, which we can select for male/female voice to read script/text instead of hiring a voice over artist?

2) Also, is it possible to select region specific accents in it? The customer is from the Indian Subcontinent therefore, an American accent might stand out.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for taking the time out to answer my query and also for sharing the right term for it. It definitely will help. In fact, following your recommendation, I will make the relevant change in the title of this discussion. :)

The Mac information will come in handy in future, however, I'm working on a Windows laptop, for now. :)

Hey S E,

Using Natural Readers free version you can configure your Windows PC setting to record audio with Audacity or some other free audio software. Here's a video that explains how to do it--> HOW TO RECORD AUDIO FROM YOUR COMPUTER FREE

Did it myself. Wasn't difficult at all.
