Hi there, Imran! Looks like you're getting some fantastic help from the community. I'm going to share this resource as well about building accessible courses in Storyline 2.
Let us know if you need anything else!
Hi KatieMauter,
I'm happy to help!
With the AI Assistant Text-to-Speech tool, you must type or paste your script in the supported language you'd like to use. Please note that even though the voice description notes a specific accent or language, AI Assistant will generate the narration in the language used in your script. Here's a quick Peek to show you how to use this feature.
The resource you linked, Storyline 360: Converting Text to Speech | Articulate - Community, refers to the original Text-to-Speech feature. To use this tool, select Insert on the top ribbon > drop-down arrow under Audio > Text-to-Speech. From there, you can choose a language and voice and then insert the script.
I hope this helps!
Can you expand on how these features are different? Does that mean using the AI Text to Speech will have an English dialect/accent when speaking Spanish? Is one feature more robotic than others? Spanish is a broad language. Cuban Spanish is different from Mexico, and Mexico is different than Spain Spanish.
Hello KatieMauter,
The AI Assistant Text-to-Speech feature is part of the Articulate AI assistant add-on. It can generate realistic audio based on the entered script, and part of the realism includes distinguishing between specific dialects. Example:
- Spanish (Spain)
- Spanish (Mexico)
There's also a built-in text-to-speech feature included in Storyline 360, but this one has fewer features than its AI counterpart, though both are advanced enough to not sound robotic. Articulate AI's text-to-speech feature has enhanced capabilities and is also able to generate sound effects.
