AI Assistant in Storyline 360: Voice Library

You already know that AI Assistant makes generating ultra-realistic text-to-speech narrations easy. Now, with the addition of a voice library with thousands of voices and intuitive search and filter options, finding the right voice for your content is even easier.

Keep reading to learn how to use the voice library in Storyline 360.

Browse Voices

Start exploring with either of the following methods:

• In Slide View, go to the Home or Insert tab on the ribbon. Then, click the Insert Audio drop-down arrow and choose Voices.
• In Slide View, go to the Insert tab and click the Audio drop-down arrow. Then, hover over AI Audio and choose Voices.

When the Generate AI Audio window displays, click the Voice Library button on the right. On the next screen, you’ll see a list of all the available voices in the library. Each row displays the name, description, and other details about the voice. Scroll down the list to load more voices.

Some voices have long descriptions, so some of the text may be hidden. Hover over the description to reveal a tooltip with the complete text.

Preview Voices

To preview a voice, click the play icon—a little circle with a play button—just to the left of each name. You can preview voices one at a time.

Use a Voice

Once you find the voice you want, click the Use button located on the right. This adds the chosen voice to your library under the My Voices tab. The screen then automatically switches to the Text-to-Speech tab, where you can generate narrations using the selected voice.

If you find a voice you’d like to use later, save it to your library by clicking the Add to My Voices pill button located just to the left of the Use button. Once added, the button changes state to display Remove from My Voices. If you want to remove the voice from your library, click the button and it reverts to its initial state.

You can add up to 10 voices to your library. The Added Voices counter in the upper right corner displays the remaining number of voices you can add. Once you’ve added 10, the buttons become grayed out.

You’ll also find other information about each voice at the top of the buttons, such as the date it was added, the number of times it’s been added to user libraries, and the total number of characters of audio the voice has generated.

Search, Sort, and Filter Voices

Right above the list of voices are the search, sort, and filter functions. From there, you can do any of the following:

• Search specific voices by entering text into the search box. You can search voices by name, keyword, or description. Note that voice library uses a fuzzy search technique—finding results that are similar to, but not necessarily an exact match for, the given search term.
• Reorder the list by Trending, Latest, Most Used, or Most Characters Generated using the Sort dropdown menu. By default, voices are sorted by Most Used.
• Find voices based on age, gender, and use case with Filters. The table below provides a list of available options for each filter.
