Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 83, we’ve included important fixes and new features!

To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here!

There are no options to customise pace, intonation, inflection, or build up a custom dictionary for business or industry unique/specific words.
Using those customisations in Azure Neural Voices generates an even better "real life" audio at the moment.
Hi Graeme,
Thank you for sharing that adding more editing tools for text-to-speech in Storyline 360 would be helpful for you! We have this logged as an additional feature request, so I'll go ahead and include your voice. Here's a peek into our process for managing feature requests.
