Problem with automatically generated subtitles ?
Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we've just released a new update for Storyline 360!
In version 3.111.36309.0, we've included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we've fixed is:
- The Closed Captions editor showed captions for Text-to-Speech narration even though caption generation was turned off.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need any additional help!
Just two quick responses to continue providing feedback, dear StevenBenassi .
I did a quick test. Indeed, if I create an audio file with BRIAN's AI voice (for example), the subtitles are a mess and unusable without patient reworking. If I switch to the GRACE voice, the subtitles are indeed unchanged, you're right! But they're still just a identical mess. 😅 What's the point? My problem is that if I had reworked them, I would have wasted my time again.
As for classic TTS, the standard voices (in French! Is it the same in English?) are so ugly that I can no longer offer them to my clients, who are already used to much more pleasant, almost human voices in Storyline or elsewhere. And neuronal voices are almost always criticized for their mechanical tone. You yourselves have made these two options obsolete with the AI option. I have contracted it almost exclusively for AI voice creation (with the problems described above), not for image creation, never for content creation, given my particular situation: 100% storyliner, 0% instructional designer. Et voilà.
But you already know the problems you have to solve. So, I wish you the best of luck with that. Kind regards.
Well… I can even have your problem because I don't have any CC generated, and the ones I created manually are deleted when I update the VO (option unchecked of course)… Very well beta tested feature…
