Narration in Rise

I am also disappointed in the audio playback feature within Rise. While adding audio to some of the blocks is helpful, and I understand the workaround of creating an audio block - it definitely detracts from the visual appeal of the finished design. If I add an audio block before or after a block that has text that I want to narrate, it would be a much more appealing option if you could just layer the audio block into the existing text block, with a subtle play button rather than appearing like a totally independent lesson.

I just don't understand that with all this feedback regarding the need for auto playback, that Articulate doesn't at LEAST give us the option to autoplay. It's ridiculous and frustrating.

+1 for submitting a feature request for the ability to add in narration in Rise in all the different types of content blocks.  As with others who have commented on this issue in this thread, the lack of this feature is one of the main reasons we haven't used Rise that much.  

Hello.  Chiming in 2 years later to see if the text to speech and auto audio function is available in Rise 360 yet.

Is there an update on this?

I think it's pretty clear that Articulate has absolutely no intention of implementing this feature into Rise in the future. This is pretty embarrassing 4 years later...

Feature request: Please add an option for narration that does not auto-play!

Hello. I'm just checking in to see if audio/narration is a feature that has been added to Rise yet--for all blocks. I've seen some posts on this topic that are 4 years old. I'm wondering if any progress has been made. 

I'm agree with all comments above. Narration, is the weakness of Rise unfortunaletly.😣

So it doesn't appear that this has been resolved yet correct? It would be great to have narration features just like Storyline 360.
