Please add me to the list too. This functionality, if available in several languages, including Portuguese, would offer a saving of time in the production and inclusion of audio in e-learning content. Thanks
Hi - came across this post and thought I would chip in.
We had a client who wanted to be able to choose from a range of voices for their VO. Plus they had a lot of mnemonics they wanted to specify precise pronunciations for, so we built a simple tool in Storyline that looked a bit like this:
You just key in the text you want converting to voice (including any SSML for specific pronunciation), select the voice, adjust the pace on the slider and then click 'Convert'. The JavaScript code calls Microsoft Azure AI Speech Services (which is where the range of voices come from) and (a) reads out the text using the selected voice (b) offers an mp3 file for download.
Microsoft Azure is a truly great set of tools. You get a LOT of free credits and is very inexpensive to use. We use this tool all the time now and still haven't exceeded our free allowance.
Oh, by the way, there are a huge number of languages available in Azure.
I know this doesn't address the RISE requests here, but if anyone is interested in learning how to create this tool, we could easily run a virtual workshop??
Please add me to the list as well. I am developing a serious of language training course with Rise. And I have to use SL to generate audio, export and then import them to Rise. It's time consuming. It will be nice if I can use TTS directly in Rise when inserting audio.
This should be a must-have feature from Rise. with option to show Text transcript below the Audio /video block.
Is this now on the roadmap and when can we expect this please?
I would like AI text to speech in Rise
When will Rise have text to speech added?
Please add me to the feature request list.
Please also add me to list. It would make courses much more accessible. Thanks!
Please add me too! This feature really needed to be a thing like yesterday!
