Morning all, I had the same problem this morning but managed to find a working solution. I did my "Text to Speech" in Storyline and then exported it as an audio file, which I then successfully managed to insert into Rise 360 and it works 100%. Hope this helps somebody out there...
Our team would also like an update if this feature is added. It would engage learning if the text was outlined while scrolling, and an audio track with pre-read text was played.
Although Rise 360 doesn’t have Text to Speech built in, why not go to the source that is used in Storyline 360, Amazon Polly voices? It is a bit slower though since you have to create a file one at a time and then load into Rise 360.
If you want to speed up that process, you can try an application for Windows 10 that I wrote that should make the process much faster.
Here’s what you do:
Get an Amazon Polly account (yes, there is some cost involved but doesn’t seem that prohibitive) (https://aws.amazon.com/polly/)
Save your scripts as separate files (MS-Word or Text)
Download HeroVoice TTS from the Microsoft Windows Store (fully functioning 15-day free trial)
Encode your files with HeroVoice TTS
Load each audio file into Rise 360
It’s really that simple!
HeroVoice TTS supports many of the requests that I’ve seen on the Storyline forums:
Adjust the overall speed of your files with one setting
Adjust the overall pause duration for commas
Add your own SSML tags to get more finer nuanced, naturally sounding results
I strongly agree that the text to speech option would be so beneficial so we can apply more senses to our learning, as well as help those with disabilities.
Text to speech would be a really great option in Rise! If an employee is blind or has difficulty seeing/reading the on-screen text it could be the difference maker between effective, inclusive training and a waste of time that makes them feel excluded.
I'm also wanting text to speech in Rise 360. I currently record myself doing read throughts but I ideally want something that reads the text as the user scrolls.
Hi folks! Thanks for letting us know that text to speech is an important feature for you to have in Rise. We don't have this in our roadmap at the moment, but we'll definitely share it here if we have updates!

Hi I would be great to have a text to speech option in Rise - I have students who have difficulty reading and this would be a great function.
Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you, Amanda!
+1 on this request too.

I'd love to see TTS coming directly into Rise! Any updates on this?

Thank you.
Yes please, text to speech!
Is it built yet?
Yes I would like to vote for this too!
I agree with Sally! We would greatly appreciate this.

Hi there, could i check if the text to speech function is available in Rise 360 now?

Hi Articulate Team,
Are there any updates on text-to-speech in Rise? In particular, it would be interesting to know for the scenarios in Rise.
Thanks for your help!
This is also a feature we would love to see, thanks
I also think this would be an excellent feature to have from an accessibility point of view in particular
Oh no! I was also hoping for this feature, but this thread is 3 years old and it's still not there. :( Are there any updates on adding this feature?
Any updates on the ability to have text to speech in RISE?
