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!
I am very new to story line and really enjoying this product. However, is it true, our users cannot change the speed, such as 1x, 2x, etc...?
Hi Julie, that's a great question!
While there isn't a way for learners to change the narration speed, I appreciate you letting us know you have a need for that feature. If we add this functionality to Storyline in the future, we'll let you know!
I agree totally, this is an important feature.
I would like to add my vote for speed functionality in the text-to-speech. Thank you!
Agree, I definitley need the ability to adjust the speed of the text-to-speech.
Thanks Elke, Valerie, and Marci for adding your voices! We are tracking this request, so I appreciate you sharing.
Hi, our small ID team agrees as well. We'd love to see this feature.
Thanks!
My team agrees as well. The computer just reads too fast. This feature would be much more useful if we could control the speed to make the machine sound more human.
Thanks for your candid feedback, everyone! We're listening and sharing your thoughts with the larger team.
I appreciate you letting us know this feature is important to you, Janis. If we add this functionality in the future, we'll share the news with everyone here!
I would like to be added to this notification as well. As with everyone else, I feel slowing down the voice, even slightly, would be a tremendous help. Using punction is a work-around but it just isn't really feasible when you just generally need a slower speed.
Was there ever any updates to this from 3 years ago
Yes, please add this feature. The voice reads too fast and developers should be able to adjust the speed. Hopefully, with all the people requesting here, it will be added in the next update!
