How to use Storyline 360 without AI Upgrade
All of the needed functions on the left side of Storyline 360 require me to Upgrade to AI now. Insert text, audio, quizzes all pop up with a nag screen to upgrade to AI. There is no obvious way to turn this off and I can't find any other options. We just purchased the product, and we are already being told we have to shell out more $$$$ just to get started. Will the product be nagging our staff all day to upgrade?
Please help us turn this off. Thank you

Agree. Same issue. I am trying to update some existing training from a fresh Storyline 360 download the the Insert buttons don't work unless I do the AI. I can't figure out how to turn off the feature and insert the 'ole fashion way.
Same here. I just upgraded and now I can't insert text without it trying to force me to upgrade to the AI add-on. That was never mentioned when I renewed my subscription. Had I known, I would have waited to upgrade. Now, I can't use the basic features!!
Please tell me me we can turn off the AI message and continue to use the basic functionality!!!I'm with you all - I really want to switch off and hide all the AI feature - but they don't stop you using the standard features.
With text for example, go to the insert tab and then just make sure you click on "Text Box" (which is further to the right) and not Insert Text in the AI Assistant box.
I would say it's poor UI, but it's not - it's a deliberate dark pattern to try to get you to upgrade.
Thank you! I’ll give that a try! So appreciate you responding to my post!
According to Kelly Auner, "an account owner can email sales@articulate.com at any time to request that Articulate AI be disabled for their subscription or free trial. When Articulate AI services are disabled via a request, Articulate AI features and functionality are removed from Rise 360 and Storyline 360."

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
Is it true that some of the features of Storyline 360 (such as text-to-speech) are turned off until you add AI to your subscription?? My company deals with highly confidential information and we are currently researching if AI is a good fit.
Be that as it may, is text-to-speech unavailable until then? When I try to use it, I get this and can't get past it.Hi LindaNelson,
I'm happy to help out here!
As JanParker mentioned, Storyline 360 includes a Text-to-Speech tool that's separate from AI Text-to-Speech. Here's how you can access it:
- Select Insert on the top ribbon
- Select the drop-down arrow under Audio
- Select Text-to-Speech, then you can choose a language and voice and then insert the script
If your subscription includes the AI Assistant, you'll also have access to AI Text-to-Speech. If you're interested in learning more about these two features, you may want to check out my reply to Katie, where I shared a quick demo.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Linda, there are two audio buttons on the insert tab. The one you come to first reading left to right is for AI audio, but keep going to the right and there is one for regular audio.
