We'd like to let learners listen to an audio recording of someone speaking, which is simple to do by adding a voice recording.
However, we would then like to let the learner record themselves repeating the voice recording they heard, and be able to listen back to it from within the course/slide.
Is there a way to achieve this with Storyline? Can it be done with javascript or perhaps by using a web object?
Thanks Peter. I will submit a feature request, and will actually expand it to suggest allowing learners to also record video from their webcam and see its play it back.

This would indeed be very useful feature! I am curious to know what happened to the feature request. Will this feature be built in Storyline in the near future?
Our development team sees every feature request that comes through, and they rely on the feature requests to help them determine future features, but we have a tight-lipped policy about what will and will not make it into future versions.
It may be - but Javascript is not something that I'm able to assist with (I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin!) so hopefully the community can weigh in!
This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if the folks here are still subscribed to update you on this development for them, but I wanted to share a similar conversation with some ideas here to get you headed in the right direction.
I know this thread is nearly a decade old but this conversation came up today on two different project calls. Are there any options available to make this work?
I tried nearly a year ago to figure out a way to do this and was not successful. We have a real need to be able to do this, I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions.
Agree, this would be important if you want to teach a foreign language or train people in their verbal communication skills. I'm just wondering why we don't have this in 2022.
just out of interest - what exactly should happen - should the learner control himself via the recording? - should the teacher evaluate the recording? ...
i am collecting ideas - maybe something can be implemented
I can see a use for both. We would use it for learners to practice and then to evaluate themselves. But I could see a use for the facilitator to be able to evaluate and provide feedback also.
Jurgen, I wrote you a response. Not sure why it did not save or why it might have been removed.
I am designing an e-learning platform to cover languages that are important but not commonly studied such as the Thai language and Indonesian. It's important to be able to teach people how to speak correctly. So, there may be times when I would like the user to repeat a sentence after a native speaker or answer a question that has been asked to them in the target language or to describe a picture that has been presented to them. They should be able to have their speech recorded, played back to them, and then they should be able to compare their own speech with that of a native speaker. The materials are designed to be used without a course instructor to listen and correct the student, much how like Rosetta Stone is set up for self study.
Regarding another project, I have also developed communication for public speaking materials and would like to add activities that help people to pay attention to their content, their voice delivery, and their nonverbal behavior. So I would like to have audio and video tools where the user can record themselves, observe themselves, write down some notes in a textbox, and submit those video and audio materials along with their notes for feedback from a course instructor.
A decade later and what seems like a very simple feature still does not exist... Articulate is behind the curveball here and many other areas. I might start looking at other e-learning platforms.
Andrew - on this and many other features, it seems that Articulate is happy to rest on it's laurels and customer base. So many requests for features that are years old and no progress and no response from the company. Very little seems to done in improving features, in some very basic ways. Especially in the Rise space. No ability to sort courses in Review 360. Really?
I have no voice in what authoring tools the company chooses to use, but if I did, I would join you in looking at what other options are out there.

Sorry, Amir. That's not something that's currently built into Storyline. Feel free to make a feature request though!
That would be a cool feature to have.

I agree!
Great ideas, Amir! I know I'd use them
Thanks for your input!

Hi Anna, welcome to the community

Hello!
Is this feature available for Storyline 2 now?
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi Aaron,
It's not yet a feature in Storyline 2 - but you're still always welcome to send your thoughts in the form of a feature request.

Thank you Ashley! I just submitted a request for this feature as recommended. Can this be done with Java Script?
Hi Aaron,
It may be - but Javascript is not something that I'm able to assist with (I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin!) so hopefully the community can weigh in!
Hi Aaron,
I am looking for something similar. Were you able to find a Java script hack that worked? Thanks!
Hi Rina,
I didn't dig deeper into it and I haven't found any alternative for this.
Best,
-Aaron
I am also super interested in this feature. Any progress towards it?
Hey Alison and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I see this thread is older, but I hope this is a feature being considered. I am looking for a way to do this today.
