Unsupported AI Voices Removed in Update 104
Hi all! We hear your frustration about the recent removal of several AI-generated voices from Storyline 360. It's clear this change has significantly impacted your projects, and we understand how disruptive this has been, especially without advance notice. We’re genuinely sorry about how this has impacted you.
In response to your feedback, we have worked with our ElevenLabs partner to bring back legacy voices, meaning the legacy voices have returned to Storyline 360. What does that mean for you? You will now see the legacy voices listed again.
We're working with ElevenLabs directly to establish better communication channels so we can provide more advanced notice of any future voice changes and what the impact will be for you as authors.
This change has a significant impact on my work, as many of my projects rely on the voices that were removed. If projects never required updates, this might not be an issue—but in eLearning, updates and modifications are the norm. The challenge isn’t only the extra time needed to redo voices, but also the loss of variety, especially among women’s voices, which has now been reduced considerably.
I was able to locate the legacy voices on the ElevenLabs site to make my changes and avoid redoing work, but the fact that voices were removed without warning is a bit shocking. And apparently, even when there is notice, it's only 5 days.
