Is it possible to preview Text to Speech, in Storyline 360, BEFORE inserting it into the slide? If not, can this function be created? This would allow us to listen to its fluidity before inserting it into the slide. Presently we have to insert it, then listen to it in the slide, delete it if you're not satisfied and keep trying with the same process until the words are pronounced properly and commas in the right place.
Thanks for sharing that idea with us! We're always looking for new ways to improve Storyline, so I appreciate you letting us know how we can make the Text to Speech feature even better. If we add this functionality in the future, we'll pop back in and let you know!
Right clicking on the exported audio file and choosing "Text-to-Speech" and then updating it from there, only to have to do it again when the phonetics are not pronounced properly, definitely shortens the process from having to copy and paste from a word document but it would be better to have it read aloud, while inside the "Insert Text-to-Speech" window. This would be even faster at identifying issues.
I agree a preview would be great and tools like Vyond (formerly Goanimate) do this, have to be honest I thought it already did this until I pressed the preview button.
Hi George! We see every feature request made here in E-Learning Heroes, so I've made note of your request here. If we add this feature to Storyline 360 in the future, we'll let you know!

Hi Alyssa,
Do I need to submit a feature request for this or have you looked after it?
You can right click and edit the TTS so no need to keep deleting that may save a little time
