Changing Speed of Audio in Articulate Storyline?

Hi Hafizah and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I do not have any additional details to share at this time, but you are in the right place to be notified when we do have information to share.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.

Echoing everyone's sentiments. Will this feature be available any time soon? We've at the UAT stage of a Data Analytics course and about 70% are asking why they can't speed up/ slow down the video. 

Thank you.

I represent the engineering team at a premier educational platform for medical professionals, and our customers are clamoring for a way to play audio/video at different speeds, and also have the option to toggle between manual slide navigation and autoplay.

Articulate working this into its product roadmap would be more than welcomed and appreciated by its direct and indirect customers alike.

Cheers to the Articulate engineering team who is able to deliver this highly demanded feature enhancement.

Great product, btw!

I am also requesting this feature.  

Hi Cara,

I can understand you feeling like you're in the dark about what features we're working on and when certain features might be released. While we don't have a public roadmap, we're committed to giving you the best information we can at the time, and we provide targeted release dates when possible.

We've seen firsthand that this is a highly-requested enhancement for Storyline 360, and that's something we consider as we plan ahead for new features. While this one isn't currently on our immediate roadmap, we're discussing it's importance with our Product team.

As we know more, we promise to keep you updated.

Hey Articulate,  Is it possible for you to be more transparent about your process of adding features?  We've received the stock response that you're listening, considering, and you'll get back to us when/if a feature is added.  This thread started six years ago, and over the subsequent six years, many users have taken the time to add their voices to this request.  What is the threshold for the development team?  What is the current priority?   Is there a response from the development team as to why this is not a priority?  This feature has implications for students who speak English as a second language, who are studying dense content, for those who need accessibility, and for those of us needing to create a product that is well received by students.  We are delivering materials in different formats as a result of Articulate not being nimble enough to respond in a timely way.  

I'll just add my voice to the chorus asking for this feature. We just launched an Orientation program for neonatal nurses on May 1st and we're already getting requests for ways to speed up the narration.

Thanks for adding your voice, Ed. We read every reply shared here, and we use that feedback as we prioritize features for future updates. If we add this feature to Storyline 360, we'll let you know!

BUMP -

Two of our major clients have requested that we add this feature to all of their courses as their users (especially their overseas students) are demanding this on a daily basis.

The ability to change tempo or speed of speech without changing pitch has become pretty standard with audio books so not only is this feature expected it addresses a widespread accessibility problem.  People who speak the narrator's language as a second language often need slower speeds as well as people who are  simply are less familiar with a topic.  Blind users usually can listen at over 2-3X the normal speaking rate of sighted people and prefer to speed up narration.  A temporary solution is to put transcripts of the narration in notes.  This allows people to move through the material more quickly than the narration by reading as well as access by the hard of hearing.  Screen readers generally allow users to change playback speed.  Unfortunately the animations are tied to narration and, thus, narration speed.  I have not figured out an EASY work around to  just clicking through the animations like you can with Power Point.
