If your project is text-heavy it can be useful to have Storyline read out the main text to your viewer. Audio narration is also helpful as an accessibility aid to help students and clients engage positively with elearning.
NOTE: Storyline introduced improved ‘Neural voices’ in Autumn 2023. These are significantly more realistic than the basic voices available when the explainer for this section was recorded. Find out more about the new, improved voices.
Storyline uses a traditional ‘timeline’ approach to setting timings for when a text box, image or button appears, fades in or even whirls around on a slide! It’s useful to be able to sequence timings for basic objects – In the explainer we’ll animate a female character onto a slide before VR glasses ‘appear ‘fade in’ on their face, after which paragraphs of text fade in. It’s easier than it sounds!
