Slow down computer voice audio narration in Storyline 360?
Hi,
I am using Storyline 360 and, per the clients' request, using the computer generated voice of Amy for audio narration. We would like to slow down the speed at which the narration plays back. ...
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 of the new features 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.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi, KC.
Thank you for reaching out!
We have a couple of similar requests, so I want to make sure I add your name to the correct one. The original post in this discussion asks for the author's ability to slow down the text-to-speech audio. We also have a feature request logged to allow learners to slow down or speed up the audio.
I'm happy to add your voice to either (or both) those requests!
Hi Maria,
I am glad to hear that multiple individuals are interested in the audio narration slow-down. I am interested in both author and learners slow-down capability. However, my first priority would be the author controlled speed on text-to-speech feature.
I hope there is enough interest out there that would place this request to a higher priority. We have a lot of learners whose first language is not English. Having the ability to control the pace of text-to-speech would enhance their learning.
Thank you.
KC Chou
