Translating text-to-speech in Storyline

Hi, I have a Storyline file that includes text-to-speech audio.  I need to get this files translated but the text-to-speech does not appear in the translation Word file (not tested with XLIFF). ...

I am wondering about this, too.  If I have to translate a course, I want all of the text in that course in my translation file.  Of course there are ways to work around it, but they all require much more effort.  In addition to your comment about wanting to keep the Notes field open for actual notes, I also don't want to have to remember to copy and paste my text-to-speech transcript into the Notes field every time I make a change.  That is just asking for something to get missed.

Is there an easy way to grab all the text that's being used for text-to-speech and pull it into a file for translation?

Hi KristaM​!

Thanks for the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Storyline 360!

Currently, Text-to-Speech from Storyline is not included when exporting content to Word or XLIFF, for translation. Placing the TTS script in the Notes panel, or another visible text field is still a valid workaround we recommend.

We are actively tracking a feature request to streamline this process and I've added your voice to the report!

We'll be sure to let you know if this enhancement makes it to our Feature Roadmap.
