Hi there! For accessibility- it would be nice to have all blocks with the option to add audio caption for those who are visually impaired. It would be more esthetically pleasing to embed the audio in the block, rather than having a separate block for the audio.
Hi Dan! Thanks for designing with accessibility in mind.
Check out this article on making Rise 360 courses accessible, including making your content work well with screen readers. For folks with visual impairments, they may already be using a screen reader to help understand text and images.
I concur. I prefer designing courses in Rise rather than Storyline but it's unfortunate that voice narration isn't an option to be imbedded within the course.
Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community, Rachel! We're glad you're here. 😀
I understand that a voiceover element would benefit you and your organization. I'd be happy to share your feedback with our product team, but can you share additional details on how you want this feature to look in Rise 360? I'll add your comments to the feature report. Currently, you can use an audio block to add recorded audio to your course.

Hi there, Bob!
Rise 360 allows you to add audio in an audio block. You can record the audio yourself, or upload an audio file from your computer.
The labeled graphic, process, and timeline blocks also have the option to add audio.
Audio won't play automatically, so learners will click the play button to listen to the narration.
Let me know if that answers your question!
Can a short block be applied to just one slide, or would it be just one (continuous) block per course?
Hi Maelee! You can add several Blocks within a Lesson, and add several Lessons within a Rise course. More information can be found here.
Hi AS Staff, can you share any course examples that illustrate voice overs in Rise 360?

I second this a thousand times!
Completely agree. Rise 360 is great - just missing that voiceover element (which is a huge disadvantage in today's society).
