I am trying to determine how I can import audio files into scenarios, preferably in Rise 360, but would also like to know if it can be done in Storyline 360 . I would prefer it be a 'seamless' flow for the learner, instead of them having to click on another block to launch the audio.
Audio in Rise scenarios is not currently available. I am not sure if this is a feature being considered or not. You can definitely add audio to anything in Storyline, so this should not be an issue if you develop inside of Storyline.
In the "Scenario" block type you cannot add audio.
However, you can use the Multimedia Audio block in Rise and either record directly in Rise or upload a file. You can then type alt text, or paragraphs of description after the text.
There may be other ways I haven't experimented with yet such as using the Interactive > Button Stack option and linkjing the buttons to audio files, or using the hyperlinks within paragraphs of text, such as in the Accordion block to add audio.
If you use the Interactive Button Stack option and link the buttons to audio files, where would you house the audio files? Is there an option to store them somewhere in Rise? Actually I just checked and there is not an option for an audio file with the Button Stack option. Thank you.
Hi April! If you had an audio file hosted online, you could use a button block to link to that URL. The audio file would open in a new browser tab, however, and your learner would have to click to view the tab with your course.
Are there any plans to add audio to the text and dialogue in the Scenario block? It would help to make dialogue more 'real' and offer audio as an alternative, thinking of UDL
Hi, I am chiming in on this thread. Yes, please add the capability to add audio in Rise Scenario blocks. It adds value to the experience of the learner not to mention it helps marketability of Articulate's suite of products. Thank you!
I would also like to see the option to add audio to scenarios in RISE. The scenarios available are great but it would be ideal if we could include audio for increased accessibility.
Thanks, folks! We've counted your vote and will let you know here if we add this enhancement. Feel free to continue adding your +1s if you're new here!

Thanks Anthony! I will have to create these scenarios in Storyline then import them into the Rise course.

Hi Articulate Team,
are there any updates on audio imports for scenarios in Rise?
I have read that there is no text-to-speech option available. Is there another way to make scenarios more accessible?
Thank you!
