Text to Speech SSML tag
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to tune the articulates TTS voices using the SSML markup tags that are defined by Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.1, W3C Recommendation...
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 enhanced feature 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.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here!
Hello Richard,
I'm sorry to hear that the new SSML feature isn't working properly for you.
I'd like to take a closer look at your project files to see why the tags are being read as text and not as proper SSML markups. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project files here or in private by opening a support case for testing? We'll delete it when we're done!
Hello John
The reason why the tags like <emphasis> were being read in the "modified_ssml_suppoort.story" file is because this tag only supports Standard voices while the voice used in the slide was a Neural one. You can check out this article for more information on correct usage of supported tags.
