Use Text to Speech in Your Adobe Captivate eLearning
February 19, 2019
I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

Thanks for this – really useful. Is it possible to allow users to turn the text-to-speech audio on/off as required?

If you use the built-in Playback Controls there is an Audio mute button that allows anyone to turn on or off the audio, including text to speech.

Hi Paul,

I’ve been using the guide ever since I’ve watched your video. And I also thought I’ve already figured out what the labels PARENTS and CHILDREN stand for. Seems I’m wrong Can you clarify these two concepts? Thanks!

Most markup languages have items that are parent and child level tags or syntax — child-level tags inherent parent level properties. For example, consider the following VTML code.

 

The pitch value is a parent level tag whereas the parts of speech tag is a child level tag. In other words, the parts of speech tag inherit the parent level pitch values. It really isn’t something to think about too often but the relationship does exist.

Thanks Paul! Although I’ve noticed that the TTS feature of Captivate has already evolved esp. where the <vtml_partofsp part=”xxx”> is concerned, I still find  the VTML doc helpful, esp the break tags; makes the audio sound more natural 🙂
