Text to Speech Voices
I love that Storyline has the text to speech options, but I am looking for other voices that can either be purchases and implemented through Storyline or something similar.
Any suggestions?

The issue we are having are that most of the voices sound very robotic. Now I understand that the voices are auto generated, but Joanna and Matthew have the most...normal human sounding voices instead of something from a sci-fi movie. I would definitely like some additional voice options as well, preferably with a less robotic tone in their voice.
Just found this thread and hoping Articulate has taken some action.
Our company has several facilities in the Bahamas and the best we can do is force them to use American English or British English. American English is a little tougher to understand, while British English brings with it the whole specter of the rather fraught history of the Colonial era where most Bahamians were enslaved or otherwise oppressed. We want to avoid association with this period and use a native-sounding voice.
Hello William,
Thank you for following up here and sharing the importance of having additional language options in Storyline.
I've added your voice to the report we're tracking for increasing language options, and as soon as we have updates to share, you'll be notified now that you're subscribed to this thread.
Hi, I would appreciate if better quality voices are integrated into articulate, even we have to pay extra for them : I do not like the robotic sound of the existing ones. Looking forward to have more accents, variety and quality. Thank you
I'd like to know - are there ways to purchase additional voices?
Hi LaWaune!
What additional voices would you like to see added to Storyline's text-to-speech feature? While there isn't a way to purchase additional voices through Articulate 360, I'd love to hear more about your needs. You can also share more details through a feature request!
Hi Alyssa,
We'd like to have more accent options. For example, speaking English with
global accents like French, Latin American and South Asian. We love the
time savings computer-generated voices provide and look forward to more
improvements with the technology with variation inflection or pitch control.LaWaune
Thanks again for the detail, LaWaune! I've put your thoughts in a feature request for us to track.
I agree. I'd like more English speakers with more nuanced accents such as the ones LaWaune suggests as well as possibly someone with a bit of a Kenyan or Nigerian accent and from the Middle East.
Thanks, Paula.
I've submitted your idea in a feature request as well.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Appreciate if the voices are categorized into age (modulation) group
Thanks for your feedback, Venkat and Don!
Thanks for you replay, Alyssa
Hello Alissa,
We need these Languages voices in Storyline, is it possible to buy them? Hungarian, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovak.
Thank you
Where are the TTS voices stored within the Articulate files? Is it possible to add a third-party TTS voice into Articulate? For instance, if I purchased a voice through NaturalReaders, how can I add that voice to Articulate?
