Can I slow down the audio voice selected in Storyline 360?

Is the audio speed fixed. The text to speech audio reads fast need to get it slow

Any update on this? Are any upgrades to tts in the works? And if so, when might we be able to expect them?

Adding my voice to the chorus of requests for this. We develop materials for English language learners, so being able to slow it down would be really helpful for us! :)

I Really think this feature should be prioritized. I find lots of Heroes that ask whether development is in progress or not. I guess its a simple question. 

Is it prioritized and are you working on it? and if yes, do you have any estimated release?

Hi everyone. Thank you for taking the time to check in! 

To help you plan, we don't have immediate plans for more editing capabilities with text-to-speech. It's a popular request that we're actively tracking requests for so I'll make sure we notify you if we make changes that will help!

I hope this will be prioritized.
I badly need to slow down reading speed of text-to-speech as our materials were now converted from local language to english..

And the speed is quite fast for them to follow as not all of the participants in our class can understand english.. slowing it down may be of great help..

Adding my voice as well, this is one of the most commented posts I have seen in the Articulate Community, so hopefully the speed can be controlled soon!

I would like to add my voice here as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share how important this feature is to your courses! I've let our team know what you're looking for. I don't have an update to share yet, but I'll keep you posted in this discussion!

Unfortunately that is one of the reasons we are still using Captivate TTS for all of our courses. Their TTS is on our desktop and does not go out to the cloud requiring us to get proper authorization every time we want to use it and they have many ways to slow down the speech. Don't get me wrong, we love 360, but we are still having to use multiple apps to get the job done. After all these years there just does not seem to be a development tool able to meet all of our development needs.

Adding my vote here for the ability to slow down the text-to-audio function.

In our company we have many "English as a second language" staff which will find the speed very difficult to understand.

Thanks for letting me know when this option is likely to be made available?

Can you confirm then that Text to Audio when copying from the notes is useless if you intend to allow users to see the notes for accessibility? I will have to retype the exact notes with extra spaces, commas and periods to sound like a normally paced speaking voice?

Looking forward for an update! I also recieve many questions asking for this feature in english second language speakers

Hi, everyone need this speed control feature for text-to-speech. Still the feature is not added. once we export and import the audio it is not so easy to update the audio.  For example, I may be not working on the file, some one else, but they will not know what settings I have used to slow down the audio (1x, 2x, etc.) while doing updated for the audio content. Please add this feature in the future updates.

I also have this requirement, to be able to adjust the delivery pace of the AI voice.

In addition, it is critical to be able to identify whether certain common words are being used as the verb or noun, so the pronunciation is correct (for example, record or content).

Thank you.

Adding a vote for a variable rate function. Thank you.

Related question, are any of the text to speech narrator voices slower than others?

Thanks

This request to allow for slowed down narration is over 2 years old and still nothing from the articulate developers?   I have a course with over 200 slides. There is no way I can go through each audio narration while inserting commas, semi-colons or use the audio edit tool to insert pauses. 

Another vote to include controlled speech speed to enable better articulation of words

Quite an important feature. Any plans to add?

Hello Alvaro,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute!

No update as of now, but we're actively tracking feedback for more editing options with the text-to-speech feature. We'll let you know here if we make any changes that could help!

In SL360 it would be very helpful to be able to slow down the audio on the timeline when inserting cue points for assets.  At full speed it can be difficult to insert objects with accuracy.

I would love to be able to slow the text-to-speech audio.  I only use it for prototypes before getting  a professional voice over, but the most common feedback I get is "slow it down". Just adding a comment so I'll be notified if anything changes.
