In my productions, I very frequently time animation elements to the speak, which is always replicated in Notes. While one can to some extent read the audio waves and make a qualified guess about what is being said, my life would become a lot easier - and productions much faster - if there was a way to show the Notes text in sync with the audio. If this was possible, I'd have much less guessing and testing to do.
Are you looking to see the Notes as you're recording or for the user to see it appear in time as they view the course? You may also want to share your thoughts on features here as those go directly to our product development team.
This is actually a third situation: While editing the slides, so that the elements match the audio I've already recorded. I have a lot of elements that need to be in sync with the spoken words, and while looking at the audio waves on the Timeline is useful, there's still a lot of trial and error involved in this approach.
I'll add this to Features as well, tomorrow (am in CET here).
Drop your audio in Audacity, or MS Movie maker. They show the time to .001 or .01 sec. I record the cue points (on paper, no less) and can set the elements on the slide to exactly the point in time I need.
That also leads me to a different way to improve Storyline: Audio preview directly on the would also help a lot, and just might be easier to implement.
I've now submitted a feature request as Ashley suggested.

Thanks Henrik for clarifying and submitting the feature request!

Good idea about Audacity / Movie Maker!

Good suggestion Walt, and thank Henrik for sharing the ideas in a feature request as well.
