Voice Over in Rise 360
I note this post was 6 years ago so keen to know if there has been any update on automated voice over in Rise 360. EricSantos​, is there any update you can share? Many thanks 🙂
Hi KirstyFoxwell​!
Happy to help!
We're still tracking the feature request to support automated playback of Text-to-Speech, across an entire Rise 360 course. I've included your voice in the report!
In the meantime, I'd like to highlight a Text-to-Speech enhancement we released in a recent update of Rise 360. Now, AI Assistant customers can generate Text-to-Speech for any Block type that supports audio. However, the playback is not automatic, and does require the learner to click the 'Play' button first.
Please let me know if you need anything else!
Just following up on this:
I am LOVING, what the Articulate team did with this. It was a long time coming, but I think it has been implemented perfectly. There are two key types of projects that Articulate hit the nail on the head with for this Text-to-Speech update:
1. There is an ability to use auto-ai voiceover for quick projects. This is incredibly helpful if you have a short project and want to include TTS for the visually impaired. It makes courses more accessible, and gives equal opportunity of learning to all.2. For more advanced projects, we can insert pre-recorded voice files from voice actors. THIS IS HUGE, as it raises the ceiling for really well developed, professional looking and sounding courses. Although Ai is quite good now, there is always something less "personal" about an Ai voice that comes up (even in the best ones like Elevenlabs.) It also allows us to use recordings of our CEO, or familiar company executives to do the voiceover for our internal training courses. This gives a real sense of congruency in our training.
I was very worried that we would only have a ai voice feature locked behind a paywall, and by extension not be able to use pre-recorded readings from professional voice actors, but Articulate delivered in knowing what we needed most as course builders. It is not always about the quantity of the courses, but the quality within them that makes a learning experience!
I am in the process of slowing updating my courses with voice content now and I couldn't be more pleased! Thank you to the Articulate team for doing such an excellent job of this latest update!Thanks for your reply StevenBenassi​.
Yes, I've been exploring the text-to-speech enhancement in Rise. It is quite impressive. I was enquiring about automatic voiceover as this is something my stakeholders/customers have been asking about.
Have a great day!
