Adding more computer voices to Text-to-Speech

Hi Anthony,

I see, so please accept my apologies for getting your question wrong.
On my side, the feedback I have about the A360 embedded voices is not very enthusiastic; I admit there are a couple of good voices (I'm still using the free trial, maybe the full version has more), but still the audience's feedback says they sound artificial.
So I'm working on 2 possible solutions: 1) find some more natural computer voices and 2) creating a computer voice out of one of our trainers' real voice (some companies claim they can do it);
but either solution is pointless if I cannot import the new voices in A360; that's the reason for my question to this forum.
Cheers,

Simone

HI Anthony, I'm a newcomer here. I do like the Google Wavenet (Australian) voices and would love to use a couple of them within Storyline 360. Did you ever get the integration API with Storyline working? 

Hello Paul,

I appreciate you sharing the thoughts of your reviewers!

We're currently monitoring requests for additional editing options with the text-to-speech feature, including humanizing the voices, and I've added your comments to the report. Here's a look into our process:

Dear A360 support team,

Too much talking and no progresses.
Like many requests, this about enhancing the text-to-speech features (more voices, better quality, possibility to vary the speech speed,...) is being a lot discussed and analyzed, but no improvements so far. I've posted my first comment about better voices 2 years ago and this is still being discussed.
What your users need is known as "a little less conversation, a little more action"

I would consider adding the functionality to import other voices instead. There are so many companies working on audio processing, it's not worth locking them out of your system and waste your resources on creating voices customers can buy from a 3rd party vendor.
I mean it as sincere recommendation.
Rgds,

Simone

Dear Anthony,

I don't mean to be mistrustful, but your question does not sound much like a real question, but I feel like you're challenging my statement.
If my feeling is wrong, I will be happy to share with you some details of my implementation plan; but if I'm right, I hope you'll understand if I don't reply to your inquiry.

As my team are heavy users of Storyline - we would really appreciate having more voice choices as well as more human sounding choices presented. If that isn't possible, the ability to import other voices from other sources is most welcome. Given the digital age, the text to speech functionality is one of the largest selling points for my team. Thank you for your consideration.
