Hi,

I was preparing some demos. Whenever I conert my caption to speech, the last word remains truncated in the audio. I could not find a way to correct this. Saw this issue reported by other users as well but havent been able to find a solution. Could anyone help.It's bit urgent!

For example - if i give a caption - 'This is a potrait' , the audio will read ' This is a potr' and will drop suddenly.

Any hellp is appreciated

Thanks,

m2m

    Stumbled across this post, encountering the same issue using Adobe Captivate 5.

    I found, quite by accident, that moving the audio clip to start a fraction after the slide begins seemed to miraculously fix the problem - no more truncated speech.

    Have things improved in v6?

    Hi.  I have been using Captivate for a while and have found that the "fade in and fade out" ability on the slides affects the audio so that it sounds cut off on playback.  I just extend the slide by a half second to a second after the audio finishes and the problem goes away very easily.  At the very bottom on the timeline is the actual slide timeline, just "pull" or extend this slightly.

    I'm not sure if this will work, but try using the VTML (VoiceText Markup Language) Tag set.  At the end of the caption use a pause tag.  It will look like this:   This is a portrait.<vtml_pause time="1000"/>  The 1000 can be any number between 0 and 65535.  Convert again and see if this works.
