Variable for a name integrated in "Text to speech"
hy, i try to set a box with create a new variable "name" at the first slide.
And: i want to use this variable on further slides.
BUT: i want to use a caracter who speaks (text to speech) to the user. and also subtitles included with the variable
example: Hello "VAR NAME" to this training...
Is this possible to use the content of a variable in text to speech and subtitles?
thanks for answer!

It's not currently possible to render TTS 'live' within Storyline that way.
It's possible to use APIs to generate dynamic voiceover - calling to Eleven Labs or another service, and pulling the outputs into your course while it's running - but that's beyond my skillset.
ChrisHodgson has been doing some amazing work in this area, though, and is well worth a follow.

I'd second Jonathan's recommendation for Eleven Labs and following ChrisHodgson
I have been using Eleven Labs API work to do dynamic, real time live TTS with Storyline variables with custom code for a few months. Incredibly powerful - MichaelUtzCommunity Member
