Text to speech speed
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 of the new features 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.
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!
Hi Mohamed,
That's a neat idea, and I can see how the ability to adjust the narration speed with a slider would be very useful for a lot of people. I'm happy to pass along this idea for you!
For now, you can use punctuation, such as commas and semicolons, when you want to insert brief pauses. If you need longer pauses, convert your text to speech, then open the clip in the built-in audio editor and insert silence where it's needed.
Thank you Alyssa.
but the problem with using extra punctuation is that the narration is too distorted , it's like some thing was chancing the narrator :D .
the silence option is good in very little cases .
