Hi Jatinder,

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue! I'm happy to help troubleshoot and I'd like to start with a few clarifying questions.

  • Are you using the latest update of Storyline 360? We are now on Storyline 360 (Build 3.75.30269.0)
  • Have you tried using punctuation, such as commas and semicolons, when you want to insert brief pauses between words?
    • If you need a pause before the first word, you can convert your text to speech, then open the clip in the built-in audio editor and insert silence where it's needed.

If the issue persists, I'd like to take a look at your file. You can upload it here or share it privately in a support case. We'll delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete.
