Using SSML for Text-to-Speech
I am trying to use SSML to craft a dynamic voiceover for one of my Storyline 360 lessons. I am having some issues with the program accepting the script I put in. I also don't see where I can use the...

Hi Jessica!
Sorry to hear you've run into trouble while working with SSML tags in Storyline!
Testing the tag you shared on my end (64-bit Storyline 360 version 3.85.31840.0 via Windows Parallels on a Mac M1) I did observe the "S" being pronounced. Here's a quick screen recording sharing my results.
To clarify, does your code contain the necessary open and close speak tags used to identify SSML-enhanced text?
If you're comfortable sharing a copy of your .story file, it would be helpful to have a closer look at what you've built out so far. Feel free to share it here in the discussion or privately through a support case.
We'll delete it from our system as soon as troubleshooting is complete!
