Adobe Captivate Classic: Add AI Audio (Text-to-Speech) to a Shape

Adding audio to a Captivate Classic slide is easy: choose "Audio, Record to" or "Import to." Adding text-to-speech to a slide object is a bit more complicated.

  1. Choose Audio > Speech Management.
  2. Click the plus sign to create a note area.
  3. Type a script.
  4. Pick your voiceover "talent."
  5. Click Generate Audio and then click Close. (This will add the audio to the slide, which you will delete during that last step below.)
  6. On the slide, select a shape.
  7. On the Library, drag the new audio onto the shape.
  8. Choose Audio > Speech Management and remove the audio from the slide background.

Here's a video that will walk you through the process.

ISPRING SUITE 10: Now with Text to Speech

iSpring continues to improve its eLearning development suite of tools. The latest improvement is Text to Speech and it works really well.

To use the Text to Speech feature, first, add the voiceover script to the slide notes. (You'll be able to use this script along with the Text to Speech feature. No retyping, no extra work.)

Select the iSpring Suite 10 tab on the PowerPoint ribbon and click Manage Narration.

Click the Audio drop-down menu and choose Text to Speech.

From the lower left of the dialog box, click the Insert text from notes button.

The script you added to the slide notes earlier appears in the main area of the window.

Select the language and voice from the menus as appropriate. If you'd like, preview the voice by clicking the Preview voice button.
