Text to speech - How to fix the first word being cut off
Several months later and I am still having problems with the first word of text to speech being cut off. My customers have also complained about this and I find it hard to reproduce. It only happens sometimes. When you replay, it usually doesn't happen again.
I am attaching a short.story file with a few blank slides which have text to speech insterted.
Please preview the entire course and listen to the first word in the first slide. The word is "To" and it only gets cut off when you play the first slide.
Any ideas how to avoid this issue?
Same issue at my end
Hello, While they still have not addressed this issues in the latest version of storyline I do have a suggestion that works for me, if you would like to try.
After creating your speak-to-text go into edit audio add 1 second of silence then on the Timeline slide align the audio file.
I too have this issue, all the time. It is a huge problem.
I resolved it by leaving a space before the narration started, and it worked fine.
All the best!
Sometimes that worked as well for me, but sometimes you don't want audio to play with a second delay, but instantly.
