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!
Bumping the conversation again, because I got more feedback around the lack of playback speed control from one of our users. Because YouTube and other popular video systems support this natively, the lack of playback speed support is very obvious to the average user, and is leading to a negative user experience. As mentioned before, it has great accessibility benefits as well, which is why I was surprised it was not included in the previous accessibility update.
Looking back to the start of this thread, I see this issue has been mentioned and brought up many times over the last 6 years. Is there any chance the priority of this can be raised by development teams? A custom JavaScript solution is more fragile, and sub-optimal for our purposes, as compared to an official Articulate implementation of this support.
