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 the list. I am an online developer and a client requested for our students to have this option. Agreed with the comments for all students, English speaking and non-English speaking, or is not the students first language can be difficult in any language -- so the need to find that happy medium for all. Please and thank you.

I want to add a point. I am developing technical training in the US for world wide use. Because I have training on servers located in Germany, euro privacy laws apply. As a result company policy is not to use any live human voices so that's out. I am getting feedback on the Articulate 360 TTS used in my modules like this on received today from our office in India.
"Slow down narrative especially in later part as it will be easier for people to follow and digest, especially those who are not well versed with use of English."
For people who speak English as a second language, most of my learners, it is a real problem I need to solve.

Hi Alicia: We have been requesting this feature improvement for some time. Hopefully, another voice will make an impact. Thanks for posting!

A feature allowing adjustments to the speed of the voice would be beneficial.

Hello, I see these requests for text-to-speech playback speed are from 2-3 years ago. any progress on this? I don't seem to be able to find any documentation articles that indicate that the player has been enhanced to accommodate this feature. Many thanks, Scott

I have not heard anything about this getting implemented, so I am still waiting. We would really appreciate this feature of slowing down audio, as we have a lot of non English speakers who take our courses.

Yes, adding my voice to this as well. Important aspect of accessibility compliance.

Adding my voice as well, this feature is still highly desired by my team and users.
