Do you know how to adjust speed of audio created by "Text to Speech"?
I am creating e-Learning course with Articulate Storyline, also I use "Text to Speech " fanction to create audio.
My boss asked me that it could be slow down the audio speed.
But I cannot find speed controler.
Can I change the speed of audio? If someone knows, please advise me.
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 enhanced feature 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.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here!
Hi Barbora,
I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Storyline 360 and I'll be sure to share your comments with my team!
Is adjusting the overall speed of the text-to-speech audio possible now that neural text-to-speech audio is available in Storyline?
Hi Lori!
I'd be happy to share some insight on this!
We currently have a feature request logged for the ability to slow down/speed up the pace of text-to-speech voices. This feature is separate from the Neural Text-to-Speech feature we just released in Storyline 360 version 3.80.30988.0.
I'll go ahead and include your voice in the feature report, and will update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap!
+1 for the option to adjust text-to-speech generated audio speed.
Also, please add more human-like voice options - right now, seems only "Matthew" somewhat sounds human. We DO love Storyline's text-to-speech feature, which streamlines our course development process with the Closed Caption (a mandatory for us) capability as easy as a checkbox built into the workflow. (My team has used other text-to-speech tools that generate more natural human voices. However, Storyline's ability to do all of these at the same time is definitely a winner!)
Please make it better. Thanks!
Hi Mengqiao!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing the feedback!
I'll include your comments in the feature report our development team is currently tracking. We'll be sure to notify you as soon as we have updates to share!
Have a great rest of your week!
Add another request to adjust the speed in the text to speech function. It's a lifesaver in its current form but it simply too fast for most training assets I work in.
Hi there Tzipora,
Thanks so much for reaching out!
I've included your voice in this feature request. We'll be sure to update this thread in the future with any news or updates.
Hope that you have a great day and happy developing! ✨
+1 for the ability to control text-to-speech speed! Thank you!
Yes, pleas add: the ability to control text-to-speech speed. I received a request today from a couple of people asking is there a way if there is a voiceover can they control the speed? While their listening to the education?
Export audio to adobe premiere pro then adjust speed in that and reimport to articulate.
I agree this needs speed control. Pauses are not good enough. Even captivate can do this. https://iconlogic.blogs.com/weblog/2015/03/adobe-captivate-slow-down-your-speech-agent.html
Hi James!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing that tip!
I've also included you in the open feature request: More editing tools for Text-to-Speech. We'll update this discussion as soon as we have news to share.
Adding another +1 to have the ability to slow the speech down with text-to-speech. I love the new neural voices and updates but would love the ability to adjust the speed of the speech. I have customer asking me to slow down the audio and unfortunately, I am unable to.
Adding another +1 for the ability to control text-to-speech speed.
