Slideshow Engine With Skippable and Rewindable Narration

Accessible Slideshow Engine
(With Skippable and Rewindable Narration)

Do you make slideshow-type projects? Are you worried about some people not being able to use your project? Want to add narration to your slideshows but don't know how? Or just annoyed that most audio-based projects on Scratch are not rewindable so you have to restart if you missed a part?

Look no further! Check out this Slideshow Engine (With Narration)! This engine was built to solve the problem of text- and audio-only projects being not accessible enough, and the problem of un-rewindable audio projects!

Key Features:
  • The narration is toggleable!
  • You can go through the project at your own pace, skip slides, and even go back and rewind the narration!
  • And the best part is, you don't have to talk or use your voice!! (or maybe it's the worst part if you like talking)
  • Wait, no—the real best part is how simple it is to use! Hit remix, make your slides, write your narration, and share! (Full instructions are in the project.)

Downsides:
  • The project does not run automatically (can be both a pro and a con). (That being said I don't plan on making the project run automatically without controls at all because one of the problems I'm trying to solve is un-rewindable audio.)
  • Scratch's text to speech has a string length limitation, which means text in your slides cannot be too long
  • Uses the stop all block to stop narration/skip the slide, which means you cannot add music or use stop button code.

What are you waiting for? Come check it out here! ➝ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/632874467/

Want to use your voice instead? Take a look at an alternative version I've made! ➝ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/641962240/ (Also, any downsides that happen because of text-to-speech limitations are not present in the alternative version!)

I hope this project is enough for what I'm trying to achieve. If you have any feedback or criticism to give, please reply to this thread or comment on the project.

bump 5 i think it's kinda ridiculous how you can only bump ONCE every 24 hours. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING!!! i get why it exists, to avoid spam and stuff, but when combined with the unreal amount of “level code” threads that get bumped every other minute, this makes show and tell not worth advertising in.
