Rise and adding Audio

Assuming that this is referring to my need.  I want to add Audio to the Labeled Graphic when you get there, not to the markers, but to the page itself.  This is needed to read the intro text that appears when you get there.  Is there a way to do this?  Right now I am going to have to add a block ahead of that lesson with just the audio and text separate from the Labeled Graphic, or create it in Storyline and bring it in as a block.  Thanks for any help, explanation.  

Maybe I am just missing where to add this audio at the beginning of a Labeled Graphic? Thx

Can I please request a feature where we can add audio to any area that has text inside Rise?

This request is made to enable us as teachers to explain the content and add additional explanation to further explain the written content and put it into context if needed.

For example in accordions or tabs there would be a play button for students who have an auditory learning style instead of reading, where they can listen to the text being read to them and follow along.

Inside our LMS (Moodle), besides audio buttons from trainers, we also use Read Speaker technology that reads the text as it highlights it: https://www.readspeaker.com/ 

Audio does not need to be auto, but is definitely needed to accommodate additional learning styles and learning impairments.

Storyline does this well, but is heavy on development time and I think this addition would greatly add value to Rise to allow it to become a superior learning experience for our students.

The current audio buttons are good, but audio also needs to be played from inside text areas, such as accordions, tabs etc to keep it relevant to the text being displayed.

I can see that this issue has been raised for sometime now.. As a teacher of adults, I only see this as adding value. At the moment Rise is missing this important feature.

Happy to pay more for storage if needed.

I have submitted a feature request.

So very well written and I appreciate you filing that feature request Allen :)

Is there any way to record audio with the flash cards? We'd like to make a series of radio calls and responses that will help people learn the proper responses.

Hi Kimberly!

That sounds like a really cool interaction! Since you need to use audio, perhaps the Flashcards interaction isn't the best choice.

I wonder if you could build this interaction in a Blocks lesson using Audio blocks and Continue buttons? Here's a sample I put together for you. Do you think that setup would work for what you're looking to do? 

Add me to the list of people that would love this feature.  I would prefer to have both options of auto play, and non-auto play.  

Several people in our organization speak english as a second language.  Reading can be tough, but having someone narrate that content is extremely helpful to them understanding the important information.  I love this option in Storyline.  I LOVE Rise, but would use it more if it had this feature.

Thanks for considering.

Hi. I'm completely new to elearning so I'm starting my work in Articulate 360. What do you recommend to add narration to my Rise course?

Thank you!

Hi Kandice,

We recommend recording narration directly in Rise or importing high-quality audio files. Rise will take care of optimizing them for broadcasting without sacrificing sound quality.

The maximum file size for each audio clip you upload to Rise is 5 GB.

Mac Users: Safari doesn’t support audio recording. Use Google Chrome or Firefox when you need to record narration in Rise.

You can add audio as a block and to some of your interactive content like the Process interaction, labeled graphic or timeline. You'll see in each of those when you go to add the individual items such as a marker in a labeled graphic that they also have the option to include media or embed audio. As far as narration and auto-play, check out Adam's comments here.

Adding on to this subject.  I believe this has been discussed, but is the plan to be able to add audio to any part of Rise?  For example, the Accordion interaction is great, however it would be even better to add audio to each section.  Currently here and with other interactions, you can add video, but not audio.  Now I can make a mp4 from a mp3 as only audio, but it still shows a video window and I can't customize or make smaller that video window, so that alternate solution is not ideal.  Ideally it would be great to be able to add audio to any object.  Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

Adding audio within an interaction isn't something I've seen a lot of discussions around, but I can let the team know it's something you'd like to see added!
