Regarding2) Can students listen to the instructor and type their answers in a quiz?
-> I believe this is doable.
Yes, it is doable. I created a tutorial here that shows how Learners can type in their responses. This particular tutorial doesn't have the instructor speaking first, but that can be done easily in Storyline either by recording directly in SL, or inserting Audio recorded in another application, such as Audacity.
Regarding: 5) Can I publish to mobile apps such as iphone / Androids?
Storyline doesn't officiallly support Android, although some things may work and people in the community have some workarounds. Here's info on Storyline and iphone.
I actually think it might be possible through javascript but you might have to break up the action into several actions.
1) script to open sound recorder
2) script to save the file to users machine or to a server location you have granted them access to
3) if saved to their machine, script to attach the file to an email to send to their instructor
Steve Flowers is the resident expert on javascript; I would reach out to him. You might be able to combine these to a single script. He might even know a way to control the start and stop recording functions of sound recorder directly from storyline and have it open in the background.
Again, I am not the expert here but I think this could be done. I just am not the one to help you figure out exactly how to do it. That being said, articles like this seem to support the idea that javascript might offer you the solution. Link
OOps, I guess I didn't know how to reply correctly and I have to do it again.
I'm overwhelmed by the speed and detailed responses I get from the community. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me a good insight into what I can and what I cannot do.
Recording their voice as answers is possible but a bit tricky. Together with a colleguage I did a POC on this and we've managed to integrate voice recognition into our SL project. This involved making use of Google's voice search and the localstorage ability of HTML5. This will only work with the Chrome browser since other browsers won't work with the voice search (unless something recently changed). If you're interested I can dig up project files for you.

Hi Rutwin,
Just noticed in your post that you have done a proof of concept where you managed to integrate some form of voice recognition into a SL project - using the Google Voice Search. I am currently trying to do something similar so I wondered what your findings were i.e. what you achieved, limitations etc.
Would be really interested to hear how you got on.

You can probably find more info if you search at the Storyline support page.
I'll let others fill in "the rest of the story."
Number 3): There is not currently a way I'm aware of to have students record their voices as answers.
Number 4): There is no SDK available at the moment.

@Judy
If your course will be on a website, you can use this great piece of software (script) that enables users to record their voice
