Can I slow down the audio voice selected in Storyline 360?

Hello, I see this thread is from 3 years ago; however, I too am interested in slowing down the speaking rate of a selected audio voice in SL 360.

Please keep us posted. Thank you.

Is there any update on this.? already available.?

Any updates on this? I am new to storyline and it appears there is still no way to slow down the text-to-speech. 

Four years later -- has this been implemented, considered? I keep coming up to this forum, and seeing so many intelligent, practical and legitimate requests by professional subscribers and users of the software, requests that would increase our efficiency, workflow: be told it'll be 'put on the list' - four years later, nothing.  And yet, the annual price goes up, and accessibility seems to be the only updates that we hear about.  I'm a little fed up.

Hi Jenny,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community!✨

In the Storyline version 65 update, we released an enhancement where all learners are enabled to interact with videos via accessible controls that match the modern player style, exceed color contrast guidelines, and communicate perfectly with screen readers. This includes the ability to change the playback speed, switch to full-screen mode, and use picture-in-picture mode to move videos to a floating window.

We have a separate feature request logged specifically for the learner to be able to adjust the playback speed of the player so that audio narration can be consumed faster or slower. I'll be sure to add your comments to the case and update you on our progress. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!

Hi Jozsef!

It looks like your response was cut off. This can happen when replying by email, but you can try posting here in the forum! I'm happy to help address any questions you may have.

Hi Kelly, yes, thanks, indeed I tried to reply by email and it looks like the link cause problem.
Anyway, here comes my question.

This is great news. But is it necessary to re-publish existing material to benefit from the new features?

Thanks,

You're missing the point.  We - the author - want to manage the speed as we GENERATE the speech from text!  WE want to dictate the speed as it's created, NOT adjust it at the user end (the player side)!   A better text-to-speech engine is what we want - one with the ability to apply emphasis, etc.

100% agree with Marc - the request is for the *creator* to be able to adjust the text-to-speech speed. This would be a one-time adjustment, vs every single user being expected to not only know how to adjust the playback speed, but to actually do it for every single piece of text-to-speech audio in a single course. It is incredibly more efficient for the creator to just do this once and be done. 

Absolutely, agreed!
