Learner record voice and save for playback later
I am developing three foreign language courses right now and one of the stipulations is that the learner be able to record their speaking the language and play it back--maybe against a prerecorded version by a native speaker. At this point, we don't have to have a graded assessment--just a self-assessment.
We have to have the courses playable on a variety of browsers as well as mobile devices--so javascript code is not really an option.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying convince my team that Storyline is the way to go.

its high time this feature should have been added in articulate 360, its been a decade.
+1, this would be very helpful for use cases like having customer service agents evaluate their own tone and pitch.

OK :( thanks.
Hi, Jeanne.
Thank you for reaching out!
This is still an open request with our team, so I don't have any news to share on this feature.
I will update this discussion if this request makes it to our feature roadmap.
Is there any way to have students record their voice in Storyline yet?
Are there likely to be any user-facing recording features in Articulate 360 or Storyline 3 in the future?
Also, does anyone have any new recommendations for ways to embed user-recording options in their Storyline files?
If mobile isn't required, are there threads where people have shared their JavaScript solutions?
Based on the standards, that are available in common learning management systems for Articulate to communicate with (mostly SCORM and xAPI), this is rather unlikely. Both do not provide an interface for courses to upload audio data into the LMS.
From what I read about it, it would be possible to do something like this with the new cmi5 standard, but you would be hard pressed to find a lms that already supports it, so I suppose companies like articulate will not want to waste their resources on features that might not work for most users for a long time.

I don't think this was the reason for the request. Self-assessment is powerful and to enable the learner to reflect on audio they create is a very useful technique for certain topics, including learning a language. SCORM or xAPI doesn't influence a function like this nor is any interaction with a learning management system necessary to pull it off.
I'm glad you found this thread helpful, Gayla!
