Thanks for reaching out! Adding more voice options for Storyline's text-to-speech is an excellent idea for a feature request; others think so too! A feature request has already been submitted for this. I have linked this conversation to that request, so if it makes it onto our feature roadmap, we'll make sure to update you!
I appreciate the current capability, but I can only use it with reviewers to validate content; it's not quite there in my opinion to bring to participants.
I'm impressed by this update! The neural voice Joanna, in my opinion, is particularly good!
Just a note: Joanna struggles under certain contexts, for instance, to pronounce the word "alternative" properly. The "al" is left out -- but only sometimes. I have found phonetic methods around this issue.
Overall, A+ on this enhancement. Would love to hear more voices that are as listenable as Joanna's is.

I second Larisa's request. Specifically, more natural sounding voices like the ones Apple is using for audio books.
