Default AI Narrator
Articulate has changed the "Generate AI Audio" Menu. They now call them "Voicovers". The Menu does NOT prohibit clicking elsewhere while the menu is open. THIS IS A MAJOR CHANGE that was not explained in the update notes. We can leave the "Generate AI Audio" menu open and navigate through out course and add AI Voiceovers continuously. The default doesn't need to be remembered because you don't have to leave the menu. There is a weird issue however. Do NOT have previous audio selected in the timeline when you add a new voiceover. The button changes to
"Replace" instead of "Insert Voiceover" and if you "Replace" the program will crash.
Hi Andrew_Crawford,
Thanks for reaching out!
The issue mentioned above about the default voice reverting to Laura, has been fixed in Update 3.117.36909.0. You're correct that the Text-to-Speech audio is now labeled as a Voiceover in the Generate AI Audio window. I can see how that could be confusing when you're not expecting that change, and I've shared your feedback with our team!
I'm concerned about Storyline crashing if you select, Replace. This isn't expected behavior, so I'd like to learn a bit more. Does this happen consistently or intermittently? If you create a brand new project, does the issue persist? If you're willing to share a screen recording or a copy of the impacted file, I'd like to take a closer look. You can upload that here or privately in a support case, and we'll delete them once we're done troubleshooting!
I tested the "Replace" function of human narration audio after the 5_12 update and IT WORKED!!, with no forced-close of the full Storyline 360 app. All is good! I'm used to the new menu staying open now that I use 4 monitors (one 4K). I can have the notes, timeline, and "Generate AI Audio" panels / menu's all open, next to my research and source documents.
