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!
Greetings All,
I recently came across the same issues with the voice being either too fast or robotic. As the staffed has shared in the past using punctuation helps a lot, but also adding spacing between the words. In my company, we were a bit reluctant to use the feature as an immense percentage of our employees have English as their second or even third language. However, utilizing the Microsoft Word Software, to replace the single space to a triple space has reduced significantly the pace of the automated voice in our case (English: US: Mathew) and using commas, periods and semicolons have gone a long way when explaining very technical aspects. Extra Tip: If you have the script in a word format and would like to add the spacing in an efficient and concise way just use the shortcut (CTRL + H), push the space bar on the bar of what you want to look for in the document and replace it with the desired spacing.
I know it is an extra step. However, I thought it may help some of you that need the pace to be slower.
Have a wonderful rest of the year.
Thanks much easier than manually adding each space. Would love it if you could control the speed in one step
