Text-to-Speech in Storyline 360

Jul 26, 2023

I noticed that the Text-to-Speech feature contains voices from Amazon Polly.  Does this mean that, when generating an audio file using this feature, the text input is sent to an external source, i.e. Amazon?

Hi Monica!

It sounds like you had questions about the Text-to-Speech tool in Storyline 360, and where the data is sent to be generated. I'd be happy to share some insight on that.

Yes, that is correct. If you enabled network debugging on your browser while navigating through a Storyline 360 course that uses Text-to-Speech, you will notice the connections to Amazon.

Thanks for reaching out! Please let me know if you have any more questions!
