Images not visible in accessibility checker
I'm trying to add alt text to images in the accessibility checker, but every image appears to be totally blank. If I hit the "generate alt text" button Storyline just freezes up and I have to force quit. Any tips? There are no software updates available in Articulate 360 so I believe everything is up-to-date.Text-To-Speech on All Slides at Once
Hello! I'd like to suggest a future enhancement that allows a Storyline user to add text to speech audio to all slides with notes at once. This would be a big efficiency gain for anyone who uses the notes for the transcript. While it is already helpful to just click the button to create text to speech from the slides notes, it would be significantly quicker if we could get a prompt or something similar such as "would you like to insert text to speech audio using this voice on every slide in this scene / project that has existing slide notes?"AI course creation alters source text too much
I suspect our course production process must be fairly standard: we write the course in text form first and then build it into RISE as an interactive course. This feels like a pretty standard approach. It means that by the time we're working in RISE, our course material is already close to final-draft quality. It has been written with our learners in mind, it follows our style guide, it has input from SME's and has been reviewed by multiple stakeholders. At that point, we move into RISE to start building the learning experience. The hope was that using the AI course creation tool would streamline this part of the process. I expected it to take the text, break it into modules, add in some activities, generate interactive blocks like accordions, tabs, etc. But instead, it takes all our hand-crafted material and completely re-writes it. This makes the feature completely unusable. And this must be the case for, I would imagine, a significant portion if not the majority of users... Many of us are course developers, learning designers, writers, educators... "Make me a course on this topic" is not what most people use RISE for, I don't think.Themes Automatically Applied to AI-Generated Content
Background / Problem We understand that fonts and colors can be changed via Theme, but for content created with AI, we currently have to manually reapply the same settings each time. To align with unified brand design (fonts/colors/button and interaction styles, etc.), post-generation adjustments are required, increasing operational effort. In other projects, we duplicate content saved as design templates, but we cannot launch Create new with AI from existing content. This prevents us from combining template-driven workflows with AI generation efficiently. Request (Desired Behavior) Theme templating Allow saving and managing Theme settings (fonts, color palettes, button styles, default cover/lesson layouts, etc.) as “Theme Templates.” Enable setting a “default Theme Template” at workspace/folder/project levels. Integration with AI generation When using Create new with AI to generate a course, provide an option (default ON/OFF) to automatically apply the selected Theme Template. Allow launching Create new with AI from existing template content and inherit that content’s theme settings for the newly generated course. Bulk apply / reapply Provide a function to bulk apply or reapply (diff-based update) a Theme Template to existing courses. Offer impact previews (fonts, colors, component styles) and before/after comparisons prior to applying changes. Management / sharing Support versioning, ownership, update history, and team sharing (view/edit permissions) for Theme Templates. Support export/import (e.g., JSON) to facilitate migration across workspaces and backups. Expected Benefits Immediately achieve brand-consistent courses after AI generation, greatly reducing rework. Improve consistency of design standards across teams/organizations, enabling scalable production. Combine template operations with AI generation to balance speed and quality. Representative Use Cases Roll out brand-approved fonts and color schemes across multilingual courses. Apply a unified theme to large volumes of microlearning for Sales/Support. Launch Create new with AI from an existing template: let AI handle structure and tone, while the visual design remains fixed by the template. Acceptance Criteria (Examples) At the start of Create new with AI, users can select which Theme Template to apply (default sourced from workspace settings). After generation, users can reapply the Theme Template to the course with one click. Items manageable via Theme Template: fonts (body/headings), color sets (primary/secondary/accent), component styles (buttons/links/cards), and default layouts for cover/lessons. Template sharing settings and version history are visible. Note (Alternative) As a minimum improvement, allowing Create new with AI to be launched from existing content and inherit that content’s theme settings would already deliver significant value. Thank you for your consideration.AI Animation
I am normally a Storyline user, but I do use Rise to make AI animation. But recently when my animation in Rise is generated random words or shapes appear on the screen. I am not sure why or how to make it not happen. I am also wondering if I can create custom AI videos in Storyline yet? If so how? Thank you for all of your help.

Hi everyone, As many of you are aware, the EU AI Act is bringing some significant changes to how we handle digital content. Starting August 6th, there will be a clear legal requirement within the EU to label AI-generated content, specifically images and media that could be mistaken for authentic "real-world" content. As instructional designers, we are increasingly using Articulate’s built-in AI image generation features to speed up our workflows. However, to stay compliant, these assets need to be clearly labeled. The Act even suggests that these labels should ideally be machine-readable. So i have a few questions: Integrated Metadata/Watermarking: Is there a roadmap for Articulate to automatically include metadata or a digital "watermark" in images generated within the app? Custom Branding/Trademarks: Many of us use our own AI-generated assets alongside the built-in ones. It would be even better if we could upload a custom watermark or "AI-generated" disclaimer in the course settings or media library that automatically applies to all AI assets. We love the efficiency that AI brings to our e-learning development, but we want to make sure we’re protected legally come August. Looking forward to hearing your insights!AI text-to-speech voice inconsistencies?
Hi everyone, I'm working on a Storyline project that includes a customer service interaction. For one of the characters, I'm using the Zoe voice from the voice library (described as charismatic, gritty, and engaging). However, when using the v3 voice model, the voice intermittently shifts between the expected delivery and what sounds like a completely different voice with a strong Southern U.S. accent and noticeably different cadence. Occasionally, switching to v2.5 and then back to v3 temporarily resolves the issue, but the results are inconsistent. As a result, generating audio has become quite time-consuming and frustrating. I'm curious whether this is a known issue with the v3 model and, if so, whether there is a workaround or planned fix. Additionally, are there other African American female voices available within Storyline that are considered stable, long-term options and less likely to be retired from the platform? The options seem to be quite limited from what I've seen. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Storyline Translation Problem
I am writing to inquire about the translation workflow in Articulate Storyline 360. I currently have several Storyline projects and their exported text/language files (the complete text documents for the courses). My goal is to translate these files into different languages to create localized versions of the courses. My question is: once the text is translated, do I need to manually insert the new text back into the Storyline files slide by slide, or is there a built-in feature in Storyline 360 that allows me to import the translated text document automatically? Thank you in advance for your assistance.Storyline 360 Crashing AI Generated Text-to-Speech Inserted
I am working on a hefty Storyline project where I initially used non-AI generated voices and now have access to the AI Audio voice library. I am attempting to swap out the old Voiceovers and move forward with new Voiceovers and running into Storyline 360 crashing. Every time I press the "Insert Voiceover" from the Generate AI Audio pop-up, Storyline 360 instantly closes and doesn't save any of the work (unless I already saved prior to opening up the AI Audio). I am worried the file itself is corrupted. Additional Information I have already followed the steps highlighted in this article from another post regarding a similar problem and it has not solved the issue We upgraded to AI capabilities in the middle of this project I am saving the file locally and not on a network I am using the most recent release of Storyline 360 Thank you for any advice or insight on how to resolve this issue.
