Confirm if we have text to speech option in Rise 360

Hi Arushi,

There is not currently a text-to-speech feature in Rise. A workaround would be to create your text-to-speech in Storyline, export the files, and import them into Rise. If that's a feature you'd like to see added to Rise, please submit a feature request here.

Hello,

I have tried to add a text-to-speech exercise in a Storyline PowerPoint but haven't got the feature automatically displayed in the drop-down menu. I only have the following options: 'Audio from file' and 'Record mic'. Still, my institution subscribed for the paid version. Isn't it upgraded automatically?

Thanks for your answer,

Julie

Hi Julie,

Are you working in Storyline 360? Or Storyline 3? Or PowerPoint? This option is only available in Storyline 360. If you're using Storyline 360, make sure you've installed the latest update.

Thanks for your prompt answer, Allison! We are using Storyline 360, so I'll update the latest version.

Best,

Julie

I'd like text to speech in Rise as well. It's time-consuming to create it in Amazon Polly and then export and import. When might this be added?

Hi Liz!

Thanks for the feedback! I would encourage you to submit your request here.

Hi. Does Rise have the text to speech option now?

Hi Sally,

Unfortunately, there's still no way to create text-to-speech in Rise 360 directly. That being said, we do have a feature request logged for that capability so I'll go ahead and add your voice to that discussion and share any updates here.

In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

HI Alyssa, What would be the best workaround for this then? to copy and paste all text that is in Rise into Storyline360 text to speech?

Hi Sally,

Yes, that's one way to do it! There may be other text-to-speech tools that the community can recommend.

Since we're tracking these requests for a text-to-speech feature in Rise 360, can you tell me more about how you would want to insert audio narration in your lesson? Do your learners want narration to play as they scroll through a lesson?

Yes as the leaner scrolls, text would be read with the option to also turn it off. If this is not possible then have the ability to read the text and turn it into audio without me having to use storyline to create the audio, then export and import into Rise. Thanks. I dont mind if they have to click Play to start the audio but at least I wouldn't need to record in Storyline first.

Thanks.
