Articulate 360

So as with any program, computer program, there's bugs to the program. So there's always room for improvement for getting out the glitches and the bugs in the program. But I love that Articulate has an online forum where you can discuss those bugs and usually there's always somebody who contacts you and says that their team is working on it. So they do a really good job of improving where they can.

The most hiccups that I've recently experienced are honestly involved with AI and just my trying to learn AI and figure out how we can maximize that for our business case. The AI voiceover is what I'm specifically curious about and trying to learn more. So in regards to the AI, there's still some shuffling needs to be done. SSML that needs to be added for it to read correctly. There is a very large amount of voices and dialects, which I think is beneficial. It was also a little overwhelming in trying to play around with it and find that right part. So just continuing to look through the community and find the guidance that I need to essentially make the audio, make the voiceover work better and read the words correctly. For example, one of my most popular courses that I sell is Record Your Time and it kept reading, it records your time, and I could not figure out how to make those words. We've submitted a ticket, you guys have been very helpful, but we can't really figure out how to make those little nuances work with the complex English language.

Well, I'm hoping to find a little bit more regarding the AI-driven sound effects. I haven't really seen much there and that's one of the areas we struggle with. So that's kind of where, I haven't tested it yet, but I want to see how that works out and if we can really use that.

One of the areas, and I know AI is really new, but the images part, I really am excited. I'm hopeful that it will grow and get better, but if you type in to find an image, for example, I work for Girl Scouts, so I type Girl Scouts. I've gotten images where hands were missing and things like that, so I know over time it will get better. It's kind of laughable, but it's not usable. So that's one area that I definitely can see that it can improve. Other than that, I feel like the developers are up with the time, so whenever there is a concern or there might be a bug or something, it's really remedied or fixed or they create the ability to do whatever people have asked for. So there's not really anything that I'm lacking that I need right now in storyline.

The AI ​​system doesn't work as well, sometimes it's not able to automatically create diagrams to present a course idea.

Another feature that is a bit noticeable is that Articulate 360 doesn't have a wide variety of templates to be able to create content, that means that if you try to create a recorded and narrated learning process for your employees, you'll have many limitations regarding the available templates.
