Storyline 360 Microphone Input

Hello, I am creating a training course that needs user input  through microphone. Does Storyline support microphone input natively, and if not, are there any available workarounds? I have tried what some other (unresolved) post comments have suggested with altering iframes, does not seem to work for me or the OP of the posts regarding this I have seen.

  • You can get it to work with a web object and I believe Chris hodges on has some other examples.

      I've tried the web object approach, the only way to accept mic input is by opening the object in an external browser  tab and the transcript of the speech cannot be passed back to the original tab. If I choose the web object to be displayed inside the storyline training page itself the mic input is blocked

        Hi PhillipRagain-e,

        We don't officially support this method, but a member of the community shared a possible solution you can check out here. It involves tweaking the embed code a little bit to allow microphone access. Hope this points you in the right direction!

  • The web object will work outside of review. Review is an odd environment as the course is alreadying inside an iframe.

    And I'm guessing a speech-to-text function is not available in SL. I need user input, via microphone, that is converted to text. Not finding anything.
