Rise and adding Audio

Question about the accordion interaction. I do not see a way to add audio. I understand that I can add a block before of after the accordion. However, I have seven parts to the accordion and would like to have audio for each of the seven parts play when the learner clicks it. Is it possible to do this?

Good Day 

Can you please confirm if it is possible to add narration to content that is in Rise- where it automatically starts... I know you indicated that you will chat to the necessary people however has this been made capable? 

Hi. You REALLY need to provide us the option of auto-playing audio if we desire. It's a must.

Hi,

 I added text to audio previously, but now not sure how that is done. I created the text to audio in Storyline. But now I don't see the feature to add it in Rise. Can you help?

Disregard, got it.

Hi there,

Thanks for chiming in! We're still monitoring these requests as we consider what features to add to Rise in the future. You're in the right place to stay up to date! 

Hi Ashley, I am currently using Rise for the first time and indicating listeners to either listen to the audio or to read along without it. If they choose the option to read along with the audio, the audio cuts off when the reader opens the accordion blocks or tab interactions. I truly wish that the audio can continuously play - this way the learner does not need to fumble around and the designer does not need to think outside of the box  - which Im currently doing lol.

Since the accordian/tabs only uses video or images, I'm trying to see if I can export a .mp4 in a small size so that it does not pop up much on the boxes and the listener can play it along if they wish to hear the audio - however, RISE seems to have a specific player for any video updated. 

My alternative solution is to attempt and create something within storyline 360 resembling close to the accordions. However, that is more timing. It would be truly great to allow audio to not be uninterupted as interactions occur OR to have audio within interactions including the accordion/tabs. Thank you!

Hi Allison,

I found a work around for the blocks to play with audio from SL when it is viewed in the desktop without having the play button pop up!

However, it does not work for phones - the play button automatically pops up - so I will still log a feature request.

So..... my current elearning is primarily intended for iphone use BUT - if anyone would like to trick the system on a desktop version and use audio and the accordion menu arise - see attached!

The trick is to put a semi-second blank dummy slide (1st slide) within storylne that automatically plays leading to the second slide (accordion menu). Without this dummy slide - the play button will pop up on the browser. So far I tested it on safari and Chrome and works well. Just upload on Review 360 and insert it within your Rise template. The player must be completely white and the background color of rise for the element section must be white. When you do so - you will get a nice looking interactive menu. See both attachments below.

Again - This is for those who which to have audio play along with the accordion interactive menu on Rise 360 Desktop version only. I have attached the .story file for anyone to use.

Hope this helps!! 

Hi everyone,

Some of the comments asking for audio for narration in Rise are a year old. Has any progress been made this or are we still asking people to submit ideas for feature requests?

I love Rise because it's fast and works so beautifully on mobile devices, but I can't ask our mobile work force to read chunks of text on their phones. 65% of our workforce are blue collar, many of them drive for 10 hours a day and others are NESB learners so narration is a must if we want to engage them.

That's great Allison, can you please tell me how or point me to a tutorial. 

thanks
