AI Voice Availability Differences Between Storyline and Rise – Anyone Else Noticed This?

Hi there,

While working with AI voices in Storyline and Rise, I noticed a small inconsistency in the voices available between the two tools. Some voices that appear in Storyline don’t seem to show up in Rise, and vice versa.

For example, voices like Jessica — Woman | Young | English | American accent | Dialogue | Cute and Brittney – Social Media Voice – Fun, Youthful & Informative are available in Storyline but don’t appear in Rise (at least in my environment).

It’s not necessarily an issue, but it does make it a bit challenging to maintain voice consistency across courses, especially when some modules are built in Storyline and others in Rise.

I’ve already raised a support case with Articulate regarding this, but I was curious to check with the community as well.

  • Have you noticed similar differences in AI voice availability between Storyline and Rise?
  • If so, how are you maintaining consistency across projects?

Would love to hear your experiences!

Thanks!

    I've noticed something too, but the other way around. The Storyline 360 version has 67 voices, but you can access over 5,000 in Rise 360.

      Hi SarahSlade​,

      Thanks for reaching out.

      In addition to the pre-made voices, Storyline authors also have access to an extended Voice Library. This library offers thousands of options that can be filtered by age, gender, and use case.

      You can find the library via the Generate AI Audio window, by selecting My Voices > Voice Library.

      Let me know how it goes!

        Here's the Rise Voice library...

         

        And here's the Storyline voice library. Am I looking in the right place?

    HI SarahSlade​, thank you for jumping in! Yes I agree Rise has more voice options compared to Storyline. 

    However, my concer in very spesific. The voice “Jessica — Woman | Young | English | American accent | Dialogue | Cute” that is available in Storyline does not appear to be available in Rise. While there are several other voices named Jessica in Rise, none of them sound the same as the one available in Storyline.

    We currently use this specific voice in most of the courses developed in Storyline. However, when building courses in Rise, we typically have to use a different voiceover due to this limitation.

    If there is a way to make the same voices available in Rise that are currently present in Storyline, it would greatly help us maintain consistency in voice narration across our courses.
