Global Text-to-Speech
I'm working on a project with several elearning courses in Storyline. I'll be using text-to-speech for each course, which could be between 50 - 100 slides per course.
Is there a way to globally activate text-to-speech, or do I have to activate this feature for each individual slide?
Text-to-speech creates an audio file that reads the entered text. In other words, it's pre-recorded "narration" that appears on the Timeline as an MP3.
Thus, you have to create each text-to-speech file that you want played in the course. It makes sense to create it on the slide where the file will play.
Here's the User Guide info: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/storyline-360-converting-text-to-speech
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.
HI, just to pick up on that discussion, as I have the same problem: it makes sense to have each audio file on the respective slide.
But it would be helpful to have a batch processing option, so Storyline loads automatically the notes into the text-to-speech and creates the audio for each slide automatically.
that would save a lot of time and clicking....
Do you know, if this function is on the roadmap?
I don't work for Articulate, so I don't know what's on their roadmap.
