And I'm guessing a speech-to-text function is not available in SL. I need user input, via microphone, that is converted to text. Not finding anything.

    Hello RussStill, 

    Thanks for reaching out! I can confirm this isn't possible directly within Storyline, but I've shared your voice with our product team. We'll share any future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!

      Thanks. I do hope that gets on the development schedule. At the rate that "AI" type programming is advancing, this will be a must-have capability very soon. To make this work well, Articulate should also implement a "substring" function that allows us to parse out the text that resulted from the speech input. For example, search the text to see if a specific word exists. With this, users could actually talk to SL projects. 

      I found a post that referred to a JS solution. It does work, but requires an API call to his software to return the text. It makes sense that this should call Articulate software rather than someone else's third party code.
