Text to speech
Hello Community,
I am new to Articulate, we use Articulate 360. Do we have text to speech feature in Articulate 360 or we need to use some software to convert the text to speech.
Thanks, Ambesh ...
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!
Hi Balen,
Storyline 3 doesn't support text-to-speech narration, so it’s not currently compatible with Storyline 360 project files that have text-to-speech narration.
The next software update for Storyline 3 (coming soon) will allow you to open Storyline 360 project files that have text-to-speech narration. You just won't be able to update the text-to-speech settings in Storyline 3.
As for characters, Atsumi is included by default as a photographic character and you'd have the illustrated characters too. Take a look here at how to insert them.
If you do need additional characters or Text to speech - perhaps you'd want to take a look at the trial of Articulate 360 here! That would include access to the entire Content Library of characters and the new features. Our team can also help if you need to exchange what you purchased for Articulate 360 instead.
Is there a way to edit the voices like we can with VTML tags using neospeech? The voices (Matthew inparticular) in 360 are great but they read very fast.
Hi there, Michael. We're tracking a feature request to add more editing capabilities to the text-to-speech feature. I'll add your experience to our documentation, and we'll be sure to update you here with any changes!
Crystal,
Any updates on updating the text-to-speech editing capabilities? I would like to be able to vary the speed a bit.
