Does anyone know how to slow the audio for published project

I have been using Bridget in Captivate 7 with a VTML speed of 95 which in development sounds normal and the appropriate speed but when I published the project, its like she goes through the narration quick.

I see it happens only when the sentences are extremely short for example Step 1: Select tool but if it is two line sentences, the speed is normal.

Is there a way for me to address this vs. redoing the whole speech syntax?
