In this update, we included an enhancement for:

• Support for NTTS or Neural Voices

Please update to the latest version of Storyline 360 to see this improvement. Here's how:

Update Authoring Apps

If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.

Have a great day! 

Hi Larisa,

Thanks for reaching out! Adding more voice options for Storyline's text-to-speech is an excellent idea for a feature request; others think so too! A feature request has already been submitted for this. I have linked this conversation to that request, so if it makes it onto our feature roadmap, we'll make sure to update you!

I second Larisa's request. Specifically, more natural sounding voices like the ones Apple is using for audio books.

I appreciate the current capability, but I can only use it with reviewers to validate content; it's not quite there in my opinion to bring to participants.

Thanks!

Bob

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Bob. I have added your voice to the existing feature request. 

If the request makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll make sure to update everyone in this conversation thread!

Have a great start to 2023!

+1 for this request

I'm impressed by this update! The neural voice Joanna, in my opinion, is particularly good!

Just a note: Joanna struggles under certain contexts, for instance, to pronounce the word "alternative" properly. The "al" is left out -- but only sometimes. I have found phonetic methods around this issue.

Overall, A+ on this enhancement. Would love to hear more voices that are as listenable as Joanna's is.
