You can now Localize Text to Speech on Rise and Storyline!
We’re thrilled to announce an exciting enhancement for all Localization Pro users! When you translate your course, the script will be automatically translated and new audio will be generated and re-inserted in the target language, saving you time and effort. What’s New With this update, translation now includes: Automatic translation of the script (the text that powers Text to Speech). Automatic generation and insertion of localized audio in your translated course. Validator updates: Validators can now update the script, and importing their suggestion will automatically update the audio as well. This functionality is now live in both Rise and Storyline. Important Note for Storyline Users This update applies to both AI Text to Speech and Legacy Text to Speech shapes. You’ll no longer need to manually replace audio after translation, it’s all handled automatically during the translation process! Next Steps We’d love to hear your feedback and learn about your experience using this new feature. Your insights are invaluable as we continue refining how teams create localized learning experiences.Prompt for "full body character shots" for the AI Image generator
Greetings, Simple question, hopefully, how can I tell the AI image generator to "give me a full body shot" of a character I'm listing traits for? I'm running into this issue and it drives me crazy: everytime I want Storyline to generate a character, of any kind, with various prompts, using the AI image generator, it cannot or heavily struggles to get me 4 "full body shots". I'm always asking for the portrait format, not square or landscape. In photography, a full body shot is "from head to toe, completely framing the subject". Right now, unless I'm adding "walking" to my prompts, I'm getting Italian shots (head to pelvis), portraits and close-ups. If I write "standing", "full body shot" and whatnot, it doesn't generate complete characters. Please note for traits, be eyes, hair, eyes, skin color, outfits and such, Articulate's AI is... pretty spot on. It's not perfect and there are mishaps, but design-wise, it gets the job done. However, if I ask for a character, I do expect a full body shot unless I'm asking specific framing prompts. I currently have the Dec. 17th 2025 version of Storyline (3.107.35974.0), if that can tell you how the AI was fine-tuned by now. I know there's a new update today, but... right now I'm using the December version, since I needed to update Storyline right away a few days ago and I can wait for later versions. Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)Articuland Boston 2025 Cocktail Reception
I attended the summit in September and now, months later, my manager has asked that I make a presentation about it to our team. I really liked that at the cocktail reception they had tables assigned to different workforce sectors, health care, education, etc so folks with similar backgrounds could find each other easily. I took quite a few photos while I was at the summit but I didn't take any at the cocktail reception. I'm hoping someone might have taken something and be willing to share. I just want a nice wide shot of the room full of people as a supporting visual.Review 360: can we transfer comments from one link to another?
Greetings, For a single Storyline project, I use Review 360 for the following groups... a link for our dev team a link for a group of clients a link for a different group of client I essentially have 3 Review links for the same SL file, all accessible with the comment pane. Can we transfer comments from the client group #2's link to our dev team's link, as they are for the same project? While I can access them with the comment pane in Storyline, our main issue is that we need to filter each comment and avoid responding to those, since the clients will be notified. Is there a way for me to "export comments from one link" and "import those comments in another link", hoping that each comment will be placed according to their respective slides? Thanks in advance :) P.S. I say Storyline, but I'm sure Rise could benefit from this.Keeping SCORM package small, best practices?
Are they any documents or guides that already exist for best practices while designing in Rise to ensure you don't end up with a massive SCORM file at the end? If not, can anyone add to this list of recommendations to avoid this issue in the future (for now, without use of an external tool): -Compress any possible video/ image assets and pay attention to file size as you upload -When designing in an external tool (Canva, Adobe CC, Adobe Express, etc.) make sure to watch your file size upon download -Be mindful of use of AI audio generated within Rise, larger file sizes -Be mindful of GIFS, background image file size, etc. Anyone else have anything to add or know of any existing resources for this kind of guidance? Additionally, any documentation from Articulate of how much size interactive blocks, custom blocks, or anything else that might take up additional data and need to be considered for usage would be very helpful. As the eLearning community drives toward more innovation, creativity, and interaction focused around a better end user experience, I am finding it difficult to navigate the balance of this with functionality without fully knowing the sandbox we have to play in (Rise current barrier, easier to see in Storyline).-MP4 files not recognize as such by Storyline-
Hey Guys, I need to put some MP4 files in Storyline 360 but when I select them the software tells me that the names migh be incorect or that they might not be MP4s at all. I checked the name and that was not the issue. Then I tried to recode the MP4 using VLC and adobe media encoder to make sure it was not some strange output setting issue. But alas that did not do the job. Anyone here as a fix for this sort of issue?Storyline Accessibility Issue
Hello all, I am currently building out a course that will have 5 different SCORM files. In files 1-3 the focus order is automatically displaying the course title. Note: The course title refers to the 'Player Feature: Title' that appears at the top of the screen near the menu when participants are accessing the course. File 4 is being very weird and is not displaying the course title at all except for one slide and it displays the wrong course title. The title is set correctly in the player, I have gone into the slide master and am unable to find and turn on/off the slide master title accessibility. In the focus order screen I am unable to delete it or type in alt text. Question 1: how do I turn off the course title in the focus reader while still displaying the title at the top of the screen? Question 2: If I can't do the above, how do I turn on the title so it is also included in the focus order for lesson 4 and is the correct title? Below is what the focus order looks like for file 1-3 with the 'Slide Master - Title' included Below is the focus order with the incorrect Slide Master - Title, it should read "Social Media" instead of "Environmental Scan". Below is the focus order with the missing 'Slide Master - Title' from the 4th fileSuggestion: single triggers that can affect multiple objects, layers or variables.
Greetings, I would like to suggest triggers that can affect grouped objects, layers and variables, Storyline 360. GROUPED OBJECTS If you want to hide multiple assets in a group, you must change their states to Hidden for each of them individually. You cannot say "change state of [group 1] to Hidden", despite Hover states reacting normally. A single command that changes states to "all selected objects" would also be welcomed. GROUPED LAYERS Let's say you have a click-to-reveal in a secondary layer, not the base slide, that calls other layers to reveal text boxes. You must have a trigger that closes each layer individually, because you cannot close that main layer nor hide it. I'd love a trigger that goes like "close [all selected layers from this list]" in one single command. GROUPED VARIABLES If your slide requires variables that must be reset on every visit, you have to trigger them to reset individually. OI'd like to see a trigger that "reset all selected variables to their [initial values]", again in one single command. Please note that while you can choose how to display your triggers, you still need one trigger/"thing". Thanks in advance.
