Text-to-Speech is awesome but has one serious flow.
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 83, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One enhanced feature we’ve included:
Unlock new possibilities for text-to-speech audio. Use speech synthesis markup language (SSML) to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, emphasize words, add pauses, and more.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here!
Regardless of SSML editing, at least increase the default pause between sentence breaks. Everything is simply run together no matter what punctuation you add. Maybe Mandarin is using a different symbol, if so, what is that symbol to indicate to text to speech to pause a little between the start of the next sentence?
SSML editing would be nice, but would need to automatically be removed in the CC's generated, otherwise there is just as much work fixing the CC's as adding the SSML.
