Changing Speed of Audio in Articulate Storyline?

Nov 20, 2013

I'm working on creating some Articulate Storyline projects for a class I teach.  Our current videos are MUCH less engaging and interactive and are simply the professor in front of a web camera lecturing.  One things students LOVE to do is to speed up the audio / presentation of the video.  Most students can listen and absorb items much faster than we can talk about them.  I have some audio/lecturing slides in Storyline (e.g. when I do a voice-over of a screen capture or talk about the basics of financial statements).  I'm wondering if there is anything I can add to the player that would allow students to control the speed of the audio.

Hello Everyone!

I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 72 (Build 3.72.29654.0).

Included in this release is a new feature where you can let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.

Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.

Have a great day!

This is truly disappointing to see you are only making it for the modern player.  My organization has its reasons and prefers us to use the Classic player.  I have written this comment before that you really need to be treating the players equally, unless you are going to do away with the Classic player than you should be advising your customers now.  This has happened before with some new features and is very frustrating when I report to my boss the feature is now available then read the fine print.  Truly disappointed and hope there are enough of us out there that only use the Classic player that you would start supporting us as well.  Sorry if I sound frustrated, but I am this time around.  Was really excited this feature finally arrived.  Sadly, if features keep being done for only part of your product you may lose us as a customer if we can get our needs met...sad...

I don't want to waste the engineer's time by submitting a case when I do not have one--so just a quick question:


Should everyone have access to this feature if they are up-to-date on Articulate Storyline 360 updates?

If, so --I do not have this feature and I will reach out to the Support Engineers.

Thanks so much, Luciana!

@Laura do note if you are like me and your organization uses the classic player and you are up to date in Storyline this feature is NOT available.  

Which I still would appreciate a response from a staff member from my comment above, if you are going to continue to exclude the classic player on positive enhancements.
