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!
Morning, just reading the full trail. I think the original question is the question I was just asked from my SME. They actually wanted to know if the learner could have the ability to speed up the pace of the audio they hear on each slide, not using the seek bar as they need to listen to the words, but they just wanted to listen faster than the narrator is speaking. These are just audio files inserted onto each slide....so this is not possible correct?
I don't believe the current play has this capacity. I had the same question and the person who responded to me let me know that user-controlled speed had been submitted as a feature request.
In the meantime a work-around is to use an audio-editing software to speed up the recording and then insert that clip back into SL. But that new speed will be it. The user will not be able to speed it up or slow it down.Thanks for the info, but yes, my SME request is to allow the learner to speed it up. I see a lot of people have submitted a feature request so fingers crossed it moves it up the list :)
Hi,
Just adding another request to add this feature. I launched a course six months ago and there's been consistent feedback from the users asking for the ability to speed up the audio.
Hi guys,
I just came across the same need to add a adjustment of playback time button on my videos.
Is this feature anywhere near to be included in the next updates of Articulate?
Cheers
Rodrigo
Is there a way we can "up vote" for any of these feature requests? This is a feature most other tools seem to offer and we too may need to move to them due to client demand.
I would also like to request this feature. Many of our users seem to need ability to speed up the audio. If it serves as a means to "up vote" this request, i am happy to submit yet another feature request.
Appreciate everyone's insight here! 😊
We've got our eye on this one, and I'll make sure our team sees the latest votes. You're all in the right place, and I promise we'll circle back to this conversation with any new information. Thanks for letting us know how we can make things even better!
Yes, yes, yes! Learners are always looking for this feature to adjust playback speed (especially playback for audio and video in 1.5x and 2.0x speed). I have looked into Adobe Captivate to see if they have this feature out of the box. It is worth switching for this feature alone if it exists. Does anyone know any good workaround for now? I have been using Youtube/screencast videos as much as possible that have this playback speed feature built-in to accommodate our learners. I wonder if there is an LMS out there that has implemented this feature at the LMS level somehow. Thanks!!!
Looking forward to this feature being available soon in Articulate 360. Thanks!
I also would like to make a request for the learner being able to speed up/slow down the slide speed of the Player. I am getting a large number of requests for this from learners.
When will this feature be added? This is a very common request in Medical Education: dense curriculum and a need for efficient use of time.
