Slow down audio
Hi, I've been working with "test to speech". Love it, but the speed is sometimes too fast, especially for non native speakers. Is it possible to change the speed?
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 72 (Build 3.72.29654.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!
Hello Marcel, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the text to speech feature in Storyline 360. I appreciate you sharing a feature you would like to see and how it would benefit your learners. It is not possible to adjust at this time, but this is a feature that we are tracking. I've added this conversation to our report so that we can share updates with you here in the future.
After 7 months, you still haven't found a way to slow down the narration? This seems crazy to me. With all the other languages out there, not everyone is native to the English language. Please consider finding a solution to the problem. I'm hoping it doesn't take another 7 months.
Hi Becky,
Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community, and thank you for your feedback!
In the Storyline version 65 update, we released an enhancement where all learners are enabled to interact with videos via accessible controls that match the modern player style, exceed color contrast guidelines, and communicate perfectly with screen readers. This includes the ability to change the playback speed, switch to full-screen mode, and use picture-in-picture mode to move videos to a floating window.
We have a separate feature request logged specifically for the learner to be able to adjust the playback speed of the player so that audio narration can be consumed faster or slower. I'll be sure to add your comments to the case and update you on our progress. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!
That would be great! I'm now having to use a free text to speech software and import it into Storyline.
Thank you!
