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 lecturing. One things students LOVE to do is to speed up the audio / presentation of the video. Most students can listen and absorb items much faster than we can talk about them. I have some audio/lecturing slides in Storyline (e.g. when I do a voice-over of a screen capture or talk about the basics of financial statements). I'm wondering if there is anything I can add to the player that would allow students to control the speed of the audio.
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!
I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. When this thread started almost 7 years ago, we were all doing the Harlem Shake, singing that new Blurred Lines song, and R. Kelly performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. So yeah, we've been asking for this for a while now.

I have just created a feature request on this topic. To all subscribers of this discussion: Please also create a feature request if you wish to have this feature. Articulate Storyline is the main tool to create learning content with audio for me. The ability to use this content in a self-paced manner is very important to our learners.
Is that Pete Buttigieg?
I love Articuate, but their lack of response on this issue has been supremely frustrating. Considering that updates to the player are currently in development, this seems like the ideal time to add this feature into the system. Considering that speed of playing is not only a user preference issue but an accessibility issue, it would seem like it would complement the accessibility upgrades well.
I've added a feature request when I first saw this. I'm pretty sure I've requested it multiple times. I'm not sure what else to do other than be frustrated.
I have to lend my voice to this as well. I really like Articulate and remember in the early years the business was pretty responsive. That seems to have changed.
I was wondering if there was any update to this, as I've had requests to use it in courses I'm developing, and i'm wondering if it's possible.
I 127th this feature. I have submitted my feature request form and suggest that everyone else do the same as well. A few hundred posts here might be ignored, but a few hundred feature requests might get this on their radar.
YALL.
IT. IS. FINALLY. HAPPENING.
According to the Feature Roadmap, this is in development!
"Course Playback Speed Control - Let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x."*happy dancing!*
What?!? Dreams DO come true.
