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 there.
I used to record voice overs for the eLearning courses I developed, but it became very time consuming particularly as it relates to the editing process.
Fortunately, some companies have really come out with excellent text-to-speech applications. However, the process of using multiple applications does add an extra step to the development process. So, I was quite excited to learn that Storyline 360 has integrated the text-to-speech software! YAYA!
From the applications I have been using (Speech2Go and Text Speaker), I have learned that inserting at least a 0.25 second pause after each sentence helps quite a bit.
Here are some programming commands that might be used within Storyline 360:
Insert 0.25 second pause - <silence msec="250"/>
Insert 0.50 second pause - <silence msec="500"/>
Insert 0.75 second pause - <silence msec="750"/>
Insert 0.80 second pause - <silence msec="800"/>
Insert 1 second pause - <silence msec="1000"/>
Insert 2 second pause - <silence msec="2000"/>
