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
