VTML Support for Text to Speech
- 2 years ago
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 83, we've included important fixes and new features!
One of the new features we've included:
- Unlock new possibilities for text-to-speech audio. Use speech synthesis markup language (SSML) to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, emphasize words, add pauses, and more.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
I'll echo Sri Harsha's statement. I've just begun a new assignment and have come to Storyline 360 from, (*cough*) a competing eLearning design too. That tool has VTML support and I have invested significant effort in learning how to use it to make text-to-voice "sing" as it were. I sincerely hope you can bring this into S360 to augment its text-to-voice capabilities.
Going further, if you could find a way to address one feature of VTML that **doesn't** seem to work at all, despite being documented (the ability to add or subtract emphasis or stress on selected syllables)... then, I'd be prepared to assume the "I'm not *worthy*" pose! :)
