Storyline 360 AI Voices V3
So far, I've enjoyed the v3 AI voices. Especially since they pronounce my company's name correctly, which some of the V2 compatible voices did not, and I regularly had to change the spelling to get the voice to say it correctly. Anyway, I was wondering if Articulate will be doing a training on tips for prompting or tagging text-to-speech to specify inflection, etc. For example, I can't figure out how to de-emphasize the word "not" in a comparison sentence. I'm using "Ginger" and she keeps saying "Confidence is NOT accuracy." I want it to be more like CONfidence is not ACCURACY."
I created a post on the topic of emphasis in TTS a few months ago (AI Voice Generation emphasis in SL | E-Learning Heroes)... a few people provided tips but there's no official guidance from Articulate and no sign of any coming soon.
One tip was that using speech marks and capitals to add emphasis can sometimes give good results. So in your example:
"Confidence" is not "Accuracy".
This still gives patchy results though, so often all you can do is create short snippets with the statement you want to emphasize, and just keep regenerating until you get the result you want.
