Narration in Rise
Is it possible narrate all text in a Rise course, similar what's possible in Studio and Storyline? Or is audio restricted to certain content types (timeline, process, etc)? Also, is it possible to have audio play continuously from the start of the presentation through the end, or does the play button have to be pushed for each audio snip?
Thanks in advance for assistance!
Welcome to ELH, Learning Development team! 🎈
So glad you're checking out Rise! Those are some great questions –
You can add audio to the following pre-built lessons: Labeled Graphic, Process, and Timeline. Each type will have an option there to upload or record audio. If you're looking at using a custom block lesson, it can be found under Multimedia > Audio (combining various blocks is encouraged! Perhaps a text block with an audio block underneath? Sky's the limit.)
While there is no function that automatically plays audio available at this time, I'd love to let our team know about this idea! Let me know if anything else comes to mind here or through our feature request form!
Hello, has the audio autoplay been added to Rise 360?
This is the one issue that keeps me from using Rise.
Yes, I would also like to have audio auto play. :)
Yes, I would also like autoplay for audio.
Rise is great for many scenarios, but without the ability to have audio narration (coupled with the ability to restrict skipping or not playing the audio), Rise is useless to my organization. It's the primary reason we won't use Rise, which is a shame.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for this valuable feedback!
If the ability to autoplay audio would make authoring in Rise easier for you, please log a feature request to tell us more.
New to the system. Is there a reader that will automatically read the project to the viewer or do I have to create an Audio file and add it to the project.
I did not find one in Rise... So, I used the text-speech option in Storyline, and just exported the audio as .mp3.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for jumping in here with a cool workaround.
Hi Gordon,
Right now, this isn't possible in Rise 360. You can record audio directly into Rise 360 or import a high-quality audio file but it will not play automatically.
You can learn more about lesson blocks that support audio here and best practices for audio in Rise 360 here.
Let me know if you have any questions!
This has to be added to make Rise the perfect course editor. I am switching to using Rise in every instance I can, but this is a huge roadblock. The courses I build are imported into our LMS, and some courses just need narration. Please fix this soon!
totally agree, narration / voiceover is needed and needs to be implemented ASAP!!
I agree with Len! Our employees are used to narrated, interactive courses, so this would be a very welcome addition!
Thanks for adding your voice, Gail!
I've also had this issue with Rise for some time, I take the opportunity to utalise Rise whenever I can but in my company this is few and far between.
Our courses need to be able to accomodate a full narration like is available in Storyline 360 purely from a diversity and inclusion perspective for those who may be visualy impaired so only having the option of audio on limited sections makes Rise a no go.
