Neural Voices aren't available for me
Hello! I'm using the text to speech function in storyline 360, and I don't have any of the Neural Voice options available in the dropdown. It only has the standard voices. Is there something I'd nee...
Neural voices are part of the standard TTS not the AI audio
In the upgraded AI-assisted subscription, there are three options under "Insert Audio" - "Text-to-Speech", "Voices", and "Sound Effects". Regardless of which one I choose, it opens the same "Generate AI Audio" window. There are a lot of voices included there, but none of those that are listed as neural voices in the above-mentioned article.
Do you have the upgraded AI-assisted subscription or the regular one? If they are included under standard TTS in the regular version but not in the upgraded AI-assisted version, it just doesn't make sense...
Hi IrinaWelsh,
I'm happy to jump in here!
If you select Insert on the top ribbon > Audio > Text-to-Speech, you should see the voices you mentioned above. Here's a quick Peek to show you how I located them. Also, just a quick note that having the AI features shouldn't interfere with using these voices! Please let me know if you aren't seeing them, and I'll be happy to troubleshoot further.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for clarifying this! Now I see that there is another Audio option under Insert tab.
I just checked out the neural voices and, in my opinion, they sound much more robotic than the standard voices I found under AI Assistant. So I'll stick with the standard ones.
Thanks again for your help!
The two engines are completely different. AI is more naturally speaking and comes from Eleven Labs, Standard TTS is Amazon Polly and include Neural voices.
Thank you!
