The voice of one of the screen characters becomes the voice who is guiding my learner through the spreadsheet lesson.   But how did I get the same TTS voice from GoAnimate to Captivate?     From there, I used the NeoSpeech voices that come with Captivate to create high-quality TTS audio files.

Many access the elearning courses from computers that don’t support audio. The computers may not have sound cards or speakers. You need to write, rehearse, and approve scripts that sound like real people talking. Record audio narration and realize the script doesn’t sound right. You want a voice actor.

The fixed-price contract that has been signed with the vendor for this course is for 766 hours of development at an average hourly rate of $116 for a total of $89,000+. From his brief description, the price sounds high, but I would need to know a bit more detail to be sure. It sounds like a rip-off.

And it wasn’t until 2004 when Articulate Studio first came out that I became aware of the presence of rapid and “easy to use” elearning development tools. Developers needed to know how to program.
