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 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.
Adding my vote.
Another +1 for this feature and the growing need I'm seeing for it, especially with non-native speakers/listeners. Maybe an add to the player that can slow it down?
Adding my vote also. Seems like enough votes to go with this one.
Adding my vote for this feature request to control the speed of the speech in the TTS voices provided in Storyline too! They speak very fast. Looks like it's been out there as a feature request for a few years now based on community posts. I'm hoping the speed control feature for TTS voices is added very soon.
Adding my vote as well!
Exactly as Rhonda Rolf says; the person as a whole needs to slow down.
I hope this feature will be added very soon.I would like to add my vote to this request as well.
HI, i'm adding my vote to this request as well. Really need to find a way to slow the VO.
