What is the best way to slow down the Text to Speech in Storyline 360?
Hi Julie, Henry, and Joe!
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!
When will there be a training for this?
Hi Abby!
It sounds like you were interested in learning more about Text-to-Speech audio, and SSML tags in Storyline!
The SSML resource Kelly shared is a helpful user guide to reference when authoring your course. As well as, Storyline 360: Converting Text to Speech.
If you were looking to control the volume, speaking rate, and pitch, this article from Amazon Web Services can help get you started with that!
Also, I wanted to invite you to our tips and tricks webinars. Once each month at 11am ET, our training team hops on a live call to answer top questions from our customers.
