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?

    After creating your speak-to-text go into edit audio add 1 second of silence then on the Timeline slide align the audio file.
