  • 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.
