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!
Hi Alicia!
Thanks for your question! You're not alone--we've seen other requests for the ability to adjust the text-to-speech speed, and we're tracking the popularity of this request. I'll add your feedback to our report!
For now, you can use punctuation, such as commas and semicolons, when you want to insert brief pauses. If you need longer pauses, convert your text to speech, then open the clip in the built-in audio editor and insert silence where it's needed.
hi
anything happened with this important request ?
Add another one. The speed for TTS is way too fast for anyone to understand. The pace of the course can be controlled by the user anyway. Why spend all the resources on something they can already do?
We also want to adjust the text-to-speech speed. But where can we request this?
This would also be my request.
It would be very helpfull and time saving if I could be able to finetune the speed of the voice.
I think my students would be able to understand my courses better if I could adjust the speed and articulations of the voice.
I think it is a great feature but not good enough yet.
Hi Raymond!

Up vote! It would also be great if the voices responded to punctuation like question marks, or emphasized bold words, etc.

I haven't yet upgraded to SL360, but am considering it. Would love the option for learners to adjust playback speed, like they can in many audiobook players, and many web players. (.75x, 1x, 1.25x, etc)
You're in the right place to be included in any updates we have to share regarding this feature, so thanks for chiming in.
I agree. please allow a way to slow down voices in text to speech. Thank you very much for improving the voices so much!
