How to highlight text in a list with audio

I found two work arounds -- I just have the line of text appear on screen when the audio part comes, and also used a whole block of text with bullets and did Add Animation > by first level paragraph to match up each bullet with the audio -- so, it'd be cool if there is a way to highlight lines as the audio plays, but if not the other ways work too.

Hi Stephanie! That sounds like a great solution. I'm not sure of a way to do what you're asking short of just having highlighted text show up in your animations, but that seems to defeat the purpose of what you originally wanted. No need to over-do it

I second Stephanie's request.

Hi April,

This thread is a bit dated, but if you are using Storyline 2, you can achieve this effect. You can create new states on a text box, (Under Edit States) and use triggers to have them change states at a certain time on the timeline. You can set those triggers up by Cue points, or by timing.

Let us know if you need anything further!

April, do you have a tutorial on the method you described above?

Hi Hilary! This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure what you are asking about here. You are welcome to reach out to the user as needed via the contact me option on the user profile.

If you would like to describe what you are trying to accomplish, perhaps we could better assist.

Hi Leslie - I was reading Emily's post and the changing the state to highlight seems like what I may be after.  Basically the request was for the letters to "highlight" along with the narration.

Hi Hilary!

Looks like Emily was sharing information for the full text box.

I'm not sure of a way to animate/highlight across letters while the narration is going.

Perhaps someone in the community can assist with this request.

Hello, 

Has anyone seen a recent solution they could share on this? 

Thank you
