Text-to-speech in Rise 360
Hello everyone, please how can i add text-to-speech in rise 360?

Could you please add me to the list.
It really is a crucial missing element and I'm surprised it's not available yet. Accessibility isn't just a 'nice-to-have' it's crucial to ensure equity- which should be a priority.
I'd love to be kept updated! Thanks :)
Hello!
This feature hasn't made it on our feature roadmap yet, but when it does we'll be sure to update this discussion. I've also updated our feature request to reflect the number of people advocating for this feature! Thank you for taking the time to share how you would each benefit from having text to speech in Rise 360.

Hi Lauren, has there been any further development in this space? We would love to be able to do text-to-speech in Rise 360.

I also want a text-to-speech feature. Building a course in Storyline and importing it defeats the whole purpose of working in Rise.

Has there been any update on this? We really want to offer accessibility to all our learners.

I create the audio file in Storyline and then export the audio. Then, I go into Rise and add an audio media block.
I'm intentional about how I create the Storyline. I create a slide for each Rise chapter and then label the layer to indicate the section of the audio. This makes it easy when the customer comes back with edits. I can easily find the file I need to update.
Granted, I'm creating a Storyline, but it's only to hold the audio files.
I'm attaching a screenshot of how I added the audio to Rise. If anyone has a better suggestion please let me know! This was my first idea.
Thanks!

I hope that this feature is added to Rise soon, as it is a 'must have' in our ever-changing elearning environment.

Please can you add me to your list also? I am currently using this workaround. Many thanks, Kim

Please add me too (:
Hi all!
We've updated the feature request to include everyone's interest. Thank you for sharing how important this feature is! We'll update you if this makes it on our feature roadmap.

Yes, text-to-speech in Rise would be very useful. Please could you ask your clever bods to add this feature, perhaps with the option of highlighting the text as it reads, if possible.

This is also a deal breaker for us. Full accessibility for all learners is essential.

For myself, I find it easier to absorb material if I can READ it and LISTEN to it. For that reason, I like to give my learners the option of listening to the material that I've provided in writing.

Can I be added to the list? To include everyone in learning via Rise courses this really is a must. Thank you.
Hey there!
There isn't a way to create text-to-speech in Rise 360 directly. We have a feature request logged for this, so I will add you to that list.
One workaround would be creating your material and adding text-to-speech in Storyline, then inserting the course as a block in Rise 360.
