Generate Phonemes using AI and a Dictionary
Pronunciation is a challenge at times, especially when the same word is pronounced differently depending on its "use." We use a combination of IPA phonemes and basic phonetics (phonics). I use an AI chat to generate the SSML code, then place it in a SharePoint library for when I need it again. The same voice may get it right one time, but not the next, so I never know when I'll need the phoneme. Given that the Articulate voices don't allow emphasis on syllables, this is the best method I've found so far. If anyone has a better way, it would be most appreciated if you would share, thank you! This is very basic, but it does work when needed. Here is an example of the AI prompt: Please generate the phoneme SSML code for the word "<word>" and use https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary to obtain the phonemes. Example for "use" as a noun: <speak> <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˈjuːs">use</phoneme> </speak> Example for "use" as a verb: <speak> <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˈjuːz">use</phoneme> </speak>Morph Animation Not Working with Background Image
Hi everyone, I’m working on a small animation in Storyline that relies on the Morph transition between slides. The concept is to create a carousel of numbers representing a year, where Morph handles the smooth transition. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Each digit of the year is displayed using a text box that contains the numbers 0–9 arranged vertically. To show only the intended year, I added shapes that mask the top and bottom parts of these text boxes. To make these masking shapes blend in, I applied the same image as the slide background to them. However, this workaround does not work properly with the Morph transition—the animation doesn’t behave as expected. I’ve attached my file so you can take a closer look. Any ideas on why this happens or suggestions for a better approach would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.Horizontal Scrolling Bar 2025 New Method
We have been waiting for 1,5 decade for a Horizontal scrolling bar. 😆 While we wait, here's a new method that doesn't involve grouping, rotating and all that janky jazz. All you gotta do, is execute this JavaScript on a trigger when timeline starts. const square1 = object('5cIKSnWwBvM'); update(() => { square1.x = getVar('Slider1'); }); The object can be a picture, shape or a Group of many things. After this, create a Slider. Set a positive start number and a negative End number - that makes sure the scrolling bar scroll the right way (create a text box with the Slider variable in it, to fine-tune the numbers you use, it will make sense what I mean when you open the example project). I have added some shapes to create the illusion of it being inside a scrolling panel. Check the attached Storyline file for the codes and a visual example. Up next for me is to style the scrolling bar and make a custom background for it, so it looks like a real panel. Enjoy.Viewing Articulate 360 Content in SharePoint Online
Enabling Custom Scripts in SharePoint Online Custom scripts are now disabled in SharePoint Online for security reasons by default. As a result, Articulate content with the story.html file renamed to story.aspx in the published output that previously worked with SharePoint Online might not work anymore. If you don't need to track learners' progress or results, check out these free or low-cost options for web hosting. If you need to use SharePoint Online, your SharePoint admin may be able to resolve this issue by following the steps below. (Note that we don't provide support for either workaround.) As of July 10, 2024, SharePoint users will find that they are required to reenable the Custom Scripts feature every 24 hours, reverting the Custom Scripts setting to its default and disabled state. Please see Microsoft’s article on Custom Script settings for more information. Enabling Custom Script via the SharePoint Admin Center If you don't need instant access, follow these steps. Go to the SharePoint admin center and sign in with your credentials. In the sidebar to the left of the page, click Settings. (If you're using the Modern admin center, click the classic settings page hyperlink at the bottom of the Settings page.) Scroll to the Custom Script section, then select the options to Allow users to run custom script on personal sites and Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites. Click OK to save your changes. Note that this change may take up to 24 hours to appear. Enabling Custom Script in SharePoint Online via PowerShell For instant access, follow these steps. Open Windows PowerShell with admin privileges, then run Install-Module -Name PnP.PowerShell Connect-PnPOnline -Url <url> -PnPManagementShell (replace <url> with your SharePoint URL, which will then generate a code for you to insert in your SharePoint admin center.) Run these commands in PowerShell: (replace the URL after -Url in the first command with the link to your static site collection, such as https://companyabc.sharepoint.com/sites/StaticSite). (If you need help creating a SharePoint site, refer to this article from Microsoft.) Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://yourorg.sharepoint.com/sites/StaticSite $site = Get-PnPSite Set-PnPSite -Identity $site.URL -NoScriptSite $false Your SharePoint site is almost ready to host HTML files! We just need to prepare the Articulate published output for upload. Here's how. In SharePoint, choose where you will locate this project. You can create a new folder or use the Documents location created by default with all SharePoint sites. Rename all the files with a .html extension in your unzipped published output folder to .aspx (keep the same file name). To do this, right-click the file, choose Rename, and then replace .html with .aspx. (Most projects only need to rename the analytics-frame.html and story.html files. Finally, upload the published output to your SharePoint site, then click story.aspx to launch your Articulate course. This change should take effect immediately.TIP: Acknowledgment statements for compliance
Have you ever needed users to complete a course by agreeing to an acknowledgment statement? Such acknowledgments may be required for compliance purposes. The attached Storyline file demonstrates two ways to require agreeing to an acknowledgment statement: Using a T/F Graded Question Using custom buttons Note: Either method could be published to Review 360 and then inserted into Rise as a Storyline block.Dragging seekbar resets advanced javascript movement
Hello, In one of my projects, I created a moving bar for points calculation, using the native Advanced Javascript object.x += 3 (example) for every point actualization. The problem is, when you use the seekbar to move on the timeline (I use it for the purpose of optional voiceover), the position gets resetted. Which, as you can guess, is highly unwanted. Is there a way to make it "stick" to the place even while moving the seekbar? I get that it will move if there was addtotimline javascript, but that's simple "on click", which shouldn't be connect to the timeline, right? I even created a very simple mockup, just click the arrow, the rectangle will move, and then drag a seekbar. The rectangle position will reset. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/2e9357c0-a730-4feb-8f62-cdcd113cf369/review Quietly: Please help, I thought I'm finally finished with this one ;)Text shadow in Selected State
In Storyline, creating a question template slide, pick 1, three choices. There is no formatting applied to any of the states on any of the text boxes for the choices. But suddenly, when I select one of the choices, a shadow appears on the text. I did not change anything about the text, there is no text shadow applied, nor is there one applied to the text box. This started happening yesterday, shadow on 1 of the 3 choices. I updated Storyline. Still appears. I created a new slide, still appears, but on all 3 choices. This morning I created a new file from blank slide, each choice was created independently - no copy/paste. Worked for maybe 10 previews. Went to a meeting. Did a preview, shadows on all 3 choices. I don't know how they appear and I don't know how to get rid of them.New button when publishing Rise to LMS
I have just spotted a new button when publishing Rise to LMS (it could have been there a while, but I have only just seen it). Only Load in LMS Please can anybody advise me when this button first appeared, and if they have had any issues with it? It defaults to "On" and I am concerned we may have published content with it checked without realising - hopefully, it just means people can only access content from our LMS but just concerned in case it effects links from other web pages to our content. Thanks
