Can you rewind text to speech media?
Is there a way to rewind text-to-speech to start over on a slide? I have tried adding a trigger to jump to slide - this slide - when the rewind button is clicked. Doesn't work. Also tried jumping t...

The trick to this is recognising that Jump To Time is not Jump To Start, even if you jump to 0 secs.
'Start' triggered events only occur when a slide is first loaded (or refreshed with Initial State checked), so Jump To Time 0 secs won't restart your audio if the audio is triggered to play at the start of the timeline.
Whereas, if your audio is triggered to play at 0 secs, and you add a custom button that stops the audio from playing and then Jumps To 0 secs, that should have the effect of rewinding the audio to the beginning.
It's what I did in this demo to allow learners to replay the spoken sections. (Click the 'rewind in a speech bubble' icon).
That is the issue; when I choose jump to this slide, it doesn't restart. The audio continues on. If I go to the next or previous slide, it does restart.
I don't understand how you are setting all of the audio play triggers.
In my demo, the TTS is set to play when the timeline reaches 0 secs and the Jump To Time is also set to 0 secs, with Play Timeline checked.
I also have another trigger to stop the TTS at the same time as jumping back to 0 secs.
This had the effect of resetting the TTS. But as with all things Storyline, there's more than one way to do this.
