Alternative Text-to-Speech (TTS) Solutions for eLearning
Hello everyone,
This is a long post about alternative Text-to-Speech solutions. When Articulate introduced the "Converting Text to Speech" feature, I thought it was a great tool. However, after us...
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!
One enhanced feature we’ve included:
Unlock new possibilities for text-to-speech audio. Use speech synthesis markup language (SSML) to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, emphasize words, add pauses, and more.
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!
I've noticed that the new update is using the Amazon Polly neural voices, but there doesn't seem to be any way to apply SSML tags from within Storyline in order to refine the voice performance. Am I doing something wrong, or is a passthrough of these commands not possible?
Hi Josh,
Thanks for reaching out!
SSML Support is not an available feature in Storyline 360, but we do have an open feature request for 'More editing tools for Text To Speech'. I've added your voice to the request so we can let you know when it makes it to our product roadmap!
