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!
Just spent some time mucking around with the Storyline 360 TST and the following seems to be true. I used Salli's voice, but it looked to be the same on other voices.
It's not perfect, but something to work with. These should immediately follow text. They haven't been tested extensively:
- Comma [,] = 1/4 sec silence (works even if not followed by a space)
- Period [.] = 1/2 sec silence (must be followed by a space)
- Period [.], [Return] = 3/4 sec silence
- Period [.], [Return], [Return] = 5/8 sec silence
- Period [.], [Return], Caret [^], Asterisk [*], Open Bracket [(], [Return] = 1 1/8 sec silence
Anyone come up with any other combinations?
Cheers,
CC
