Text-to-speech. Options or updates for more realistic voices?
- 11 months ago
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!
I have an immediate need for the Text to Speech functionality in Storyline 360. Do you have plans to add more voices and/or enhance the voice capabilities to be more human-like?

Thanks for following up, Don!
I'm sorry, but I don't have any updates to share about this feature request at this moment.

Hi Becca,
Text to Speech would really come in handy during these times.
My company is growing like crazy. We have rapidly switched over to doing a lot of remote training and testing. We don't have the time or resources to do every course or project with a professional voice-over.
The voices that you guys have in your app are very basic and actually detract from the presentation. I cannot use the text to speech capability you offer because it sounds obviously fake/contrived.
You folks at Articulate should do yourselves a favor and get text to speech fixed in your applications. I believe doing so would significantly differentiate your applications. I am certain I am not the only person/company out there needed this capability.
