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?

Hi, Karen -- Thanks so much for your question, and perhaps you might want to take a look at a similar post over here. Or hopefully, others in the community may have additional advice they can share, as well! :)

I'm wondering if there is any update on this question? 4 years ago, this was a rather novel feature but today it is becoming a common request.
Hi April and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Hello Leslie: Thank you for the response. While we are learned the value of interactive materials, our learners were quickly adapting how they learn using Youtube. This request is coming from our user base who are asking for it or asking us to move all our content to Youtube. It is interesting times.

I'd like to add to this request. I had yet another person come to me today asking for this feature, and I find myself avoiding training courses where this feature is not available,

Please!! Adding playback speed options is very user-centric!

Agreed, Playback speed allows us to record voice over in a slow, clear and concise way, and users then have the option to speed up to a more comfortable speed.

Agreed. Our users want it as well.

Hi. I have searched for this feature this morning as well. We would love this feature, particularly with the Text-to-Speech feature in Storyline 360.

We have had a request for the variable playback speed by a department within our organization as well. They have requested the ability to set the rate at different speeds (.5x, .75x, 1x, 1.5x, and 2.x) "like it's there on audacity, youtube, coursera". This feature would be very useful for us and would help us convince management to continue with Articulate and not consider another option.
