TTS Reads very fast

I am using SL360 and used Text to Speech. However, the reader reads very fast. How do I slow down the speed?

    Hi I have the same problem.

    The solution suggested by Jurgen, is a good temporary fix.

    But we need a more practical solution, especially for projects with extensive use of TTS.

    • Hi Ivo!

      Thank for you for the feedback!

      As Jurgen shared, the <prosody> SSML tag can be used to adjust the rate of spoken text in Storyline 360. However, it sounds like you're working with a large amount of Text-to-Speech, across multiple slides. Just to clarify, are you looking for a way to apply these tags globally, across multiple slides at once?

      Please let me know, and I'd be happy to share that as a feature request with our product team!

        Thanks for your answer Steven.

        I have figurate a workaround to my problem, by copying the SSML tag, and paste it on each TTS that applies.

        But as a feature request, it would really be nice to have a GUI feature to be able to adjust the TTS to our need.

        This SSML tagging, is almost like going back to DOS (for those who are old enough to remember what it is).
