Text-to-Speech Issues & Sample Library Idea
Love the idea of a voice repository! We are trying to convince our leadership team to invest in the AI option, and it would be a much easier sell if we could access samples of all the available voices.
Hi TheresaHobbs-41,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
I understand that many users advocate for new tools and products to their leadership team. We do offer a trial to test out features. Do you mean having access to all voices outside of a trial?
Hi KellyAuner,
I mean access to samples of all available AI voices outside of a trial — a repository of audio files of each voice saying the same sentence(s). This would allow Articulate users (and those in charge of procurement budgets) to simply go to a site and sample any of the voices and languages available with the AI add-on. It would be much easier to justify the added cost if we could quickly take budget managers to the site and let them listen for themselves!
I would love this as well! There's no need to generate any audio - just a place to filter and listen to the audio previews that are already built for each voice. It would essentially be what you have in Storyline, but take out all generate text and use buttons. I would love to have a page to send to my stakeholders so they could pick out their favorite voice. It really would have been helpful to send the library of options to my supervisor when we were working on approving the AI purchase - as it was, I had to share my screen with people while I still had the trial.
