Rise: Text to Speech Function
Hello, After countless hours of importing the TTS that I have created in Storyline into Rise to promote accessibility and provide learners with a different way of experiencing the content I build, would this be possible to implement as a feature within Rise? The standard TTS or the new AI version could be added, and could potentially auto generate text to speech for the entire page, or to the next continue button or divider. Adding the ability to correct and edit the text later for any acronyms that don't sound quite right would also be helpful. I believe it would massively speed up the time to create content for other users who may well be doing the same thing, along with all of the other AI features.How to Embed and Track YouTube Videos in Articulate Storyline Projects
Here’s a step-by-step guide to embedding a YouTube video in Articulate Storyline with the video controls hidden, the video fitting the web object, and tracking video completion: Step 1: Prepare the HTML File Create an HTML File: Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad, VS Code) and paste the provided HTML code into a new file. Save this file as video.html. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body, html { margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden; /* Hides the scroll bar */ } #player { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="player"></div> <script> // Load the IFrame Player API code asynchronously var tag = document.createElement('script'); tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api"; var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag); var player; function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() { player = new YT.Player('player', { videoId: 'RBtnt1fvpgA', // Replace with your video ID playerVars: { 'enablejsapi': 1, 'controls': 0, 'modestbranding': 1, 'rel': 0, 'showinfo': 0, 'iv_load_policy': 3 }, events: { 'onStateChange': onPlayerStateChange } }); } function onPlayerStateChange(event) { if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.ENDED) { // Video has ended, trigger a Storyline event parent.postMessage('videoEnded', '*'); } } </script> </body> </html> *Replace 'RBtnt1fvpgA' with your YouTube video's ID. Step 2: Embed the HTML in Articulate Storyline Add a Web Object: Open your project in Articulate Storyline. Go to the slide where you want to add the video. Click Insert > Web Object. Choose to link to a local file and browse to your video.html file. Set the web object's dimensions to fit your slide and ensure it matches the aspect ratio of your video. Position the Web Object: Resize and position the web object to fit neatly within your slide layout. Ensure that the web object size matches the desired video display size to avoid scroll bars. Step 3: Track Video Completion Create a Variable: Create a new variable in Storyline, e.g., VideoComplete of type True/False. Set the initial value to False. Add JavaScript to Track Completion: Go to the slide with the video. Add a trigger to execute JavaScript when the timeline starts. function receiveMessage(event) { if (event.data === 'videoEnded') { var player = GetPlayer(); player.SetVar('VideoComplete', true); } } window.addEventListener('message', receiveMessage, false); Completion Trigger: Add a trigger to perform an action (e.g., jump to the next slide, show a layer, or complete the course) when VideoComplete is True. Step 4: Test and Publish Test the Interaction: Preview your slide to ensure the video plays, controls are hidden, and the video fits the web object without scroll bars. Publish the Course: Once everything is working correctly, publish your course. If you're tracking completion via an LMS, ensure that the tracking settings are configured correctly.Correcting Bias in AI Image Generation
I love the new AI features! I do find though that when it comes to AI image generation of people, there's a bias towards white people. If you don't specify race, you only get white people (at least as far as I can tell) and if you do specify race it can generate some quite problematic images. Would be nice if it would generate a mix of people with more ease and less racism. I won't add an example image.Dutch (Belgian) AI Text To Speech Voices
Hi, It would be nice if there would be an Dutch (Belgian) version voice like the TTS Neural Voice Lisa. The AI TTS voices are really nice but they sound too Dutch(y) :) compared to our Flemish language we speak in the Flemish part of Belgium. Many thanks to consider this.
