Changing Speed of Audio in Articulate Storyline?
- 2 years ago
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!
Getting lots of complaints from medical students about Articulate. They can't speed up playback speed or grab text to make flash cards. Our students import everything into OneNote, as a repository for studying for big stakes exams (Step 1). I'm a little concerned that there are staff responding "if we make changes in this area, we'll let you know" after five years of complaints. I recently lobbied to get Articulate for our instructional designers because I believe in adaptive learning, the benefit of spaced repetition, and the testing effect. After a robust conversation with the sales department, it seems like it's crickets now. Vimeo, MedEd, Osmosis, and YouTube has a variable playback speed option. Can you offer more details about the logic for not adding this feature? The process of collecting feedback, analyzing it, and making choices about updates?
I'll echo Yuyen - we also provide a word file of the slides in the resources tab for our people to be able to use for notetaking, but we've gotten lots of requests for OneNote. If there's an easy way I can provide that to them I know my learners would love it!
