There are many simple ways to do so but I would recommend creating a true/false variable with initial value false and add a trigger to make it true when timeline ends. Add a condition to the trigger "Jump to next slide" when the variable is true.
Switch off the menu in the player if its not required. Otherwise you will have to add some technical triggers on each slide to make the branching in loops so that the slide will only play if the previous slide's trigger is true or else it should move back to the slide being played previously and you can resume saved state to let not the user know that he has been redirected.
So removing the seek bar and choosing these options Menu Options > Navigation Restrictions > Restricted seems to work a treat...I don't see the need to create variables unless I'm missing something?
I am not sure if this will work for you as I don't know that how much variation is there in length of each audio. If its not too much then you can create a variable true/false. On the master slide, add a trigger to make its value false when timeline starts. Say the longest audio is 15 sec, set another trigger to make its value true when timeline reaches 15 secs. Then add a condition to the trigger to jump to the next slide if variable is true.

Hi SL Developer,
For the menu option I went to Menu Options > Navigation Restrictions > Restricted.
This works well and does not allow the user to move forward until they have viewed the slide.
But yes it looks like I will have to create a variable now for each slide if I want to make sure the voice over is played in full.
Is there any easier way to do this, as I have a 80 slides and in this course and it needs to be converted into 12 different languages?
Regards
What about the progress bar? Someone can just use that to go to the end of the slide...do I need to disable that too?

Sorry Graham I read your post later...I guess you are missing nothing...Glad I helped you to brain storm!
Thank you very much.
