Slow down audio on text to speech
- 12 months ago
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 83, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One enhanced feature we’ve included:
Unlock new possibilities for text-to-speech audio. Use speech synthesis markup language (SSML) to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, emphasize words, add pauses, and more.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here!

I have updated Storyline360, but still not sure how to slow down the text to voice in Storyline. Is there a guide somewhere?

Hello VikkiTierney,
You can check out the supported SSML tags in Storyline 360 here. The specific tag you're looking for is the Prosody tag, which is responsible for adjusting the speaking rate. Here is an example of its usage:
<speak>
Although in some cases, it might help your audience to <prosody rate="85%">slow
the speaking rate slightly to aid in comprehension.</prosody>
</speak>Hope this helps!
