Ability to change playback speed of audio
A client has asked me if it was possible to speed up the audio narration in Storyline 2 to 1.25 or 1.5 times normal speed. She had seen that in some other video and was able to speed up the audio and then slow it down when she needed to concentrate on something. Thoughts or suggestions?

Common please add the feature to speed up the audio.
I don't know why this is not on the current roadmap. It is part of Rise. Please know that the absence of this functionality (it should be considered base functionality, not a nice-to-have feature) really hurts us in student evaluations. So, why isn't it?
As a student who has to use some of the modules to learn about policy changes, the missing base functionality doesn't help us either.
The ability to speed up audio, slide transitions, and other effects is critical in order reduce distractibility and increase content retention. The content delivery speed needs to be in the control of the person trying to learn, not the person developing the content because while I may want my content on computing to move quickly, I want my content on cooking to move slowly, otherwise I'll cut myself. Julia Childs would prefer the reverse.
It is really unfortunate that this problem has been in this software for more than 5 years.
Playback speed controls for audio/video should be standard for all programs that use HTML5.
I would love this feature too!
Agreed this is an important feature. I also vote for it.
And for my ESL learners, I would like the opposite. They want to be able to slow down the audio... Please make this a priority in order to be more accessible to those with disabilities and who are ESL. Thanks
I vote for this too.
Dear Articulate Team,
I am working for a large IT company and this feature is essential for our trainings, since our learners are used to watch videos with higher speed. We want to incorporate more interactive content into our curriculum and really like Storyline as the best authoring tool in the market, but the lack of this essential feature might force us to consider switching to Adobe Captivate. Please take the request serious.This feature is in development as you can see in the roadmap https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap
Dear Phil,
thank you for the hint. Can I ask how long should it take until the feature is available. It is probably hard to predict, but is it the near future or would they need some years for this?
Hi Silviya,
Thank you for reaching out! As Phil shared, our feature roadmap is a great resource to see what we are currently working on. We aren’t ready to share a specific date on when that feature will ship, but we’ll be sure to update this discussion when it’s ready to go!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support engineers if you need further assistance on your project. We'll be happy to take a look!
