Changing Speed of Audio in Articulate Storyline?
I'm working on creating some Articulate Storyline projects for a class I teach. Our current videos are MUCH less engaging and interactive and are simply the professor in front of a web camera lectu...
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!
While this may not be ideal as a solution, but has anyone considered creating different versions of your audio/video, of various speeds, and having a selector somewhere allow the learner to select something like "slower" "normal" or "faster"
Then on each slide that leads to a piece of audio, read the variable setting and jump to a slide of that speed. If they are on a slide and want to change speed mid-stream, a variable could be read when the variable changes and load the appropriate slide that contains audio/video of that speed.
Just a thought. In general, we avoid audio for reasons such as this. Without having a dynamic way to control speed, everyone listens a the same speed so it is a limiting factor.
It's a good idea but, like you said, not ideal. We would have to offer at least 3 different speeds, and that means we have to triple the size of the file and amount of work to create these. Plus we have animation synced with the narration, which will be even more work if I had to create multiple versions of the same slides just to offer different play speeds. I'm hoping this feature can be available soon as we work with medical students who pretty much demand this option.
