Text to Speech - Export Text for Narration Script
Thanks Dave, you've kinda understood :) and have offered some useful points to think about.
I work in localisation and so standard procedure has until now been to use the 'Translation', 'Export to Word' functionality to generate a script for translation. Once this script is translated we can then import it back into Storyline and go to work fixing up the aesthetics of each slide and sub layer.
With the introduction of TTS in Storyline, my clients have started to make use of this functionality and are now adding TTS audio to their slides and sub layers which of course means I need to be able to export this TTS text so I can have it translated. Currently the 'Translation', 'Export to Word' function does not include TTS in it's output meaning that I have to go through the course slide by slide and manually extract the TTS text via copy and paste to create my own translation script. Once thats translated I have to then manually copy and paste that translated text back into each individual TTS segment.
This feels like something that Articulate should be able to automate in the same manner as the 'Export to Word' functionality so thats what I was specifically asking about. TTS is a new tangent for Storyline so I accept it's not a clean solution just yet. Maybe the support team could take this as a feature request for future updates?
Thanks
