The Text to Speech is very Robotic, is there a way to refine it?

Hi, 

I designed a course and got a feedback, that the voice over is very robotic (Australian Male voice in Story Line). Can anyone pls suggest more human friendly voice?

     Hi Ahmed,

    Storyline 360 Update 80 was just released and we’ve added a number of Neural Voices to the text to speech feature. These will show up in the same place as the standard voices, under “Neural Voices”. These are voices that sound more natural and human-like and are considerably higher in quality compared to the older standard TTS voices.

    A list of these voices can be found  here. Updating Storyline 360 to the latest version is super easy, here is the guide in case you need it.

    Although there isn’t a male Australian Neural Voice yet, there is a new female NTTS voice “Olivia” which is worth trying out. 

    Please let us know of any feedback (good or bad), around this enhancement and we’ll be happy to pass it along to our dedicated team of engineers

    All the best,

    Hello Ahmed,

    Thanks for letting us know that you're interested in seeing more voices become available for Storyline 360's text-to-speech feature. 

    I've added your voice to the feature request that we have open for this request, and we'll be sure to let you know when this makes it to our product roadmap.
