Text to Speech problems
Hello everyone!
Happy to share that we've just released a new update for Storyline 360!
In Update 126, we've included essential fixes and new features. We've released a fix for:
- Closed caption text was missing after updating or regenerating an AI voice.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help.
Hey SarahHolden,
Sorry to hear that you and your team are having trouble with Text-to-Speech in Storyline.
Were the affected slides created by duplicating other slides? I ask because we're tracking a bug in Storyline that causes behavior similar to what you've shared.
When a slide containing a Text-to-Speech object is duplicated, and the script is edited on the duplicate, those changes may not be retained after saving and reopening the project. The duplicate slide’s script can revert to the original text, while the updated text may instead appear in the closed captions for the Text-to-Speech object on the original slide.
If that sounds like a process you and your colleague have applied while authoring, I'm happy to include you both in the bug report that's being tracked.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hello Stephen
Thank you for your swift reply. It is very possible that I've duplicated slides and so your explanation made sense. I would appreciate being put onto your bug report so we can keep track of what might be happening. Thank you.
In the meantime, is there anything we can do (other than retype the text to speech again)?
Thanks, Sarah
Hey SarahHolden,
You're welcome. Thanks for following up.
I've included your voice in the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is ready. As a workaround, we suggest creating a duplicate of the Slide and deleting the Text-to-Speech. Then, manually copy the Text-to-Speech from the original slide and paste it onto the duplicate slide.
We appreciate your patience, and I'm sorry if this has been slowing you down!
