So, I have been using text to speech to add a voice over on my courses that are translated to foreign languages.
\n
\n
However, it is quite time consuming. I have to copy the text i need and then paste it to text to speech. Whatever formatting I have when I copy is ignored by Storyline and it randomly throws all words into an unformatted mess.
\n
\n
Two questions. 1, Am I doing this correctly? 2, If the answer to question 1 is \"no\", is there a better way to do it?

Thanks for the additional information.

What you're experiencing appears to be expected behavior. The text-to-speech feature doesn't take into account the formatting of the text, such as bullet points, because its main purpose is to convert the entered text into an audio file. While periods and commas can represent pauses, bullets points are harder to translate into audio.
\n
We recommend entering bullet points one line item at a time so it will be easier to distinguish where one bullet point ends and the other begins.
