Converting user text field entries to real-time text-to-speech dialogue in Storyline 360?
Hi. In our online courses built in Storyline 360 and hosted on an LMS, we'd like our users to use 1 text field to type in a 2-person conversation between them and their client. Then we want them to be able to "press a button, click an object, click NEXT etc i.e. do something" that will enable the conversation to be read back to them, verbatim, by 2 AI voices. So the conversations are real-time - we aren't providing made up scenarios - we want the user to make up the content and then hear back what the conversation would sound like, as a learning tool/fun interaction. ChatGPT has suggested it could be done using web objects but I'm wondering if anyone else has done it and would be willing to share how - saves reinventing the wheel. We have an ElevenLabs subscription and can get ChatGPT to do the JavaScript for us. Many thanksKeep Articulate library character at a fixed point within 360 image navigation
Hello, I am working on an eLearning course on a simulated bank robbery to have learners practice going through the correct steps when navigating a robbery situation. I have 360 images of the teller POV from behind our teller line in one of our branches, and was going to use a character from the Articulate library as our "robber". However, I want the learner to be able to pan around the "teller line" and choose to interact with objects such as their computer, their drawer, etc, but that means that the character/robber stays fixed in the center of the screen as they pan around, rather than staying in his spot as they navigate the simulation. I have gone back and forth with Copilot and gotten a ton of wrong/impossible answers...surely I can't be the only person using a library character in tandem with a 360 image! Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I really feel like it shouldn't be this hard... I have images added of what it is looking like in practice. Any guidance on workarounds or ideas to code something are very welcome!Rise exceptionally slow - attempting to connect to https://browser-intake-datadoghq.com/
Rise has been exceptionally slow to the point of crashing Chrome out. I'm getting hundreds of connection attempts to https://browser-intake-datadoghq.com/ which is blocked in DNS upstream of my control, outside of my organisation. Rise clearly has no concept that its requests are failing, and is doubling down on retries, up until the browser tab stops responding. What's going on? What is this?Storyline 360: after button disables self on mouse hover, cannot return it to normal
I have a button that has multiple triggers on "mouse hover over," as well as triggers on mouse-click. One of the on mouse hover triggers detects when a variable (temp) is '0'. When this happens, a hidden alert text box is activated and the button is supposed to disable itself (see below), so that the user can't click the button to progress (until they've adjusted temp to higher than 0). Note that I have "restore previous state..." checked, so presumably, when the mouse hovers off the button, it should return to normal. However, this isn't working, as the button gets stuck in disabled. I'm guessing it's because, once disabled, it can't detect the "mouse hover off" action?? I've tried a few workarounds, such as creating a hotspot (as well as a transparent shape) in front of the button to handle the button's mouse hover triggers, while leaving the on mouse click triggers on the button. But both of those objects (hotspot and transparent shape), even though they're invisible, while handling the mouse hover triggers, effectively block the button behind it, preventing it from being clicked. I'm fairly new to Articulate, so there's probably a quick workaround I'm not aware of yet. But it seems to me that, either (a) the trigger wizard should gray out the "restore previous state..." checkbox if the button state changes to disabled (thus preventing any further interactivity, if that's what's causing this issue), or (b) this could be a bug. Would appreciate any advice, pointers. Thanks in advance!Rise Single-Font Limitation for Localization
I might be missing something, but during localization testing in Rise, it seems you can only select one font for the entire course. If you change the font in the Theme of one language in the stack it changes it for all courses in the stack. This isn't a big issue for courses that only use standard Latin characters but does become a problem with Asian scripts. Our usual font pairing uses Inter but Inter doesn’t support the character set for Japanese or Simplified Chinese. I’ve seen recommendations for Noto Sans, but that’s not a built-in option in Rise. And unless you use the CJK variant, it still won’t cover all characters. (And the CJK version isn’t a single font file—it’s multiple versions—so it would likely have the same issue.) How are others dealing with this limitation? Any best practices for keeping the course readable and visually consistent across English, Japanese, and Chinese would be greatly appreciated!Issue with Executing JavaScript through Workday on Mobile Devices
This is a tricky one... I created a course in Storyline where users respond to various reflection questions as they progress. At the conclusion of the course, they click on an image which has a trigger to execute JavaScript. This script gathers the text they entered into all of those variables, then adds that text over the top of a png image file of a nicely formatted response form, and then finally exports that form as a beautiful PDF. I use this functionality all the time when building courses in Storyline and it's always worked great. This course is housed in Workday. The functionality has been tested and is working properly in Workday on laptop and desktop computers, and on mobile devices when using another LMS or a web-based systems, such as Articulate Review. But when users access the course through Workday on a mobile device, and click the link in the course to export their PDF, the functionality is not working. It opens a blank page and no PDF is created. I can provide the full JavaScript if needed, but the command at issue is: var doc = new jsPDF({}). Does anyone have experience or a work-around for getting JavaScript to function properly in Workday on a mobile device? Or a different but working way to achieve the same result- exporting user inputs onto a downloadable PDF?Set Focus, I need assistance
I created the attached Story to encourage learners to answer questions related to a 'method' for solving a payments participant-related conundrum. Using 5 data input fields, I can capture the learner's input, and I have some JavaScript worked out to validate the input matches one of the acceptable answers. Because there are no object states for data input fields and I did not want the learner to go back a question and change their answer, I used triggers to reveal each of the 5 questions in turn and freeze the answer for previously asked/answered questions. Problem is I cannot get the focus set programmatically. All suggestions are welcome.Seekbar disabling after video completion
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the seekbar in Storyline after a video completes. I want to give my users access to drag the seekbar on their first viewing of a video, but I don't want it to be draggable once the video completes until they press replay. As it is now, they can drag it back through the video, but it doesn't play or have any functionality after the first viewing, so I would rather it was disabled at that point so that it only works again once replay is clicked on (which does work and starts from the beginning at that point, as it should). Any advice please?Rise exit course button not adjusting to background
It seems to stay black regardless of the background color or image. In the past, it shifted to white on dark backgrounds. It's white in this YouTube demo. In the course I'm currently working on, the exit button text is black. This is not WCAG contrast-compliant.
