Slow down audio on text to speech

I see two years ago there was going to be an update to help with the issue of the text to speech being too fast. Has this upgrade been done yet? I need my students to be able to understand the videos. 

  • 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!

  • Greetings! I'm going to add my voice to this highly needed feature request. As mentioned above, we also have a significant (over 50% of our audience) international audience, and we need to slow down the speech generated in the TTS feature of Storyline 360.

    Any clues as to when/if this feature will be available?

    Thanks - Russ

    With international audiences for our training, the ability to slow down or speed up voices in storyline is critical to the success of the training we produce. Would appreciate if this could be put as a high priority as it's the #1 items that is requested from our learners.

    Hi - Please add Infomatica to the list.  Our company really needs the option to be able to speed up or slow down voices in storyline.

  • Renee you can add my voice to this topic as well.  Not having the ability to control the speed of Text to Speech is my number one complaint about this program!
