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!
In SL360 it would be very helpful to be able to slow down the audio on the timeline when inserting cue points for assets. At full speed it can be difficult to insert objects with accuracy.
I would love to be able to slow the text-to-speech audio. I only use it for prototypes before getting a professional voice over, but the most common feedback I get is "slow it down". Just adding a comment so I'll be notified if anything changes.
Would love to get an update if/when this feature will be available. Thanks!
My department has decided to use the Articulate voices for the review cycle of WBT development and we create the final voices using a program called WellSaid - wellsaidlabs.com
Me too!
Up for an update. :)
Still my number 1 problem..Hello! any progress on slowing down the speed at which the text-to-speech reads text? thanks
I really hope you are at a point where you have enough requests to do something with the speed of the text to speech feature
I would like to add my story to this thread. I work for the federal government, so content accessibility is a fundamental requirement for our courses. As Rhonda mentioned, this is not a preference; it is a requirement.
I believe Rhonda's suggestions would make Storyline a better product, so I hope Articulate will prioritize this request for development.I'm researching this as well! Did this feature ever get added? Thanks!
Hello Tavia, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for reaching out and sharing that you would like to see this feature added as well.
The ability for learners to speed up/slow down audio and video playback is still an open request with our team, and this conversation is attached so that we can share updates with you here.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful.
