Can I slow down the audio voice selected in Storyline 360?
I am using one of the audio voice pre-loaded in Storyline 360 and it seems they are all speaking very fast. Is there a way to slow their speech?
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 83, we've included important fixes and new features!
One of the new features we've included:
- Unlock new possibilities for text-to-speech audio. Use speech synthesis markup language (SSML) to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, emphasize words, add pauses, and more.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Adding my name to this thread as i am not aware if this is resolved, i dont think so, and want updates too. This is not just a preference issue, it is also an accessibility issue for many learners. We need the following things:
1. developer ability to adjust speed of text to speech as a whole (like other say, adding punctuation only helps with that instance, the person as a whole needs to slow down)
2. give a player option so the consumer/learner can adjust the speed faster or slower (like they do in YouTube)
3. is there a phonetics dictionary we can have for pronunciation? this is especially important for names and uncommon words. right now i guess at phonetic spellings and try multiple different spelling options (10-15 in a recent case) to find one that sounds closer to what we need
I always provide the transcript for my learners, but some still complain about the speed even though they have transcript available with same content.
