Building Text-to-Speech Function on Articulate Rise 360

So here’s the deal, Articulate Rise now includes a built-in text-to-speech feature… but only if you’re on the paid AI plan. It works, but every time you update the text, you’ll have to regenerate the audio. That means more time, more effort, and it will be more cost.

That’s why I built a quick little workaround !!

Adding the following script lets your users simply highlight any text on the screen, and it’ll read it out loud automatically, no uploading, no re-recording, no extra fees. It just works, right in the browser!

Here’s what it does:

  • Reads selected text out loud in English voice

  • Stops speaking if the text is unselected

  • Works on mobile and desktop

  • Great for accessibility, language learners, and multitaskers

LATEST PROJECT

Digital Choi Hung focused on organizing themes from qualitative data analysis, and I adopted a combination of narrative techniques and communication methods. These included images, text, audiovisual media, environmental sounds, computer interactions, and game design elements. These varied approaches were used to address the challenges of fragmented and nonlinear data, it helps to provide context through audiovisual files. By developing reflexive practice and exploring poetic inquiry as methodology, the project addressed to reconnect the fragmented and nonlinear data. This practice-based research provides insights into addressing the difficulties of using transmedia storytelling as a methodology, and creative solutions that balance artistic expression with thorough data analysis.
