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!
Thank you, Thor. I appreciate your guidance and the links. I have been using the alternate spelling, and was hoping for a one-step method. When I use the alternate spelling, I have to remember where it is in the closed captions to change it back to SOGI. ;-)
I can totally appreciate that! Amazon Polly supports another alternative called Lexicons but you would need to:
1. Set up an account with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
2. Find an alternative for captioning
Probably a bit much in this case but if you have several acronyms/words and frequency of use, let me know and I can share with you privately what I and others do while gaining access to several more text-to-speech options.
