TTS Pronunciation Help
I started using TTS in Storyline (so much easier for editing I feel) and I am running into issues with pronunciation. For example, I want to use progress as a verb but TTS is using it as a noun. Any tips or if you can point me to a training you found useful???
Hi Sandie,
Happy to help!
You can use this example to differentiate between the verb and noun pronunciations of the word progress.
<speak>Noun: progress<w role="amazon:VB">Verb: progress</w></speak>You can check out this article to learn more about how to customize how words are pronounced in Storyline 360's text-to-speech feature.

Does this work for standard and neural voices?
Hello BJ,
Happy to chime in! The <w> tag suggested above works for standard and neural voices. Here's a list of supported SSML tags for both voices.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
Hello can you show me where should I actually paste the ssml tag in the text. Here is the text:
Here you’ll see the names of some key (but not all!) regulatory agencies involved in the clinical trial process.
These agencies regulate clinical trials in areas where our company conducts business, so it is important to be familiar with them.
They are as follows;
The FDA better known as the Food and Drug Administration of the United States of America,
the EMA, which is the European Medicines Agency of the European Union,
the PMDA, which is the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan and Health Canada.I bolded the word that needs to be pronounced as verb instead as noun.
Hello MilicaStepan840,
Thanks for reaching out! Are you using Text-To-Speech or AI-Generated Text-to-Speech in your Storyline project?
I'd like to share both SSML tag syntax incorporated so you can reference both.
Standard Text-To-Speech
For standard, you'll use the role="amazon:VB".
<speak>

</speak>AI-Generated Text-to-Speech
For AI-Generated, you'll use the syntax role="amazon:NN".
