Hey Vi! Thanks for posting your question here! I just wanted to chime in with a possible option for annotating. In Storyline 360, you use the timeline and add objects to achieve a similar effect. All you need to do is insert your audio onto a slide and then add any objects you want (e.g. text, icons, shapes, highlights, etc.). You can add entrance/exit animations to those objects for a smoother experience. I personally like to click the play icon on the timeline and then use the keyboard shortcut “c” to add cue points where I want an object to enter/exit. Here’s a video that shows you how to do that. The video is a bit older, but it still works the same. 🙂 I hope that gives you some new ideas!
