Hello Community !

    That was due to the calibration of your microphon. Since you have more audio clips in that project, you'll have to lower the volume for each of the TTS audio clips.  If you don't want to use a dedicated Audio application (Audacity-free or Audition if you have CC) find the clips in the Library and use the right-click menu to edit them in Captivate. In the Edit Audio dialog box you have a button 'Adjust Volume'.

    it is not possible pour me to do that. I am having the same problem on all my projects. I can't modify each track every time I edit the TTS. My microphone is correctly calibrated. Generally speaking the TTS is much louder than any other applications.  I always have to lower the sound on my computer every time TTS is speaking.

    Use some VTML code in the Text to Speech dialogue to reduce the volume as it is generated.

    Note that this WILL NOT work with Microsoft voices, only NeoSpeech.

    Syntax Reference:

    <vtml_volume value="volume"> child elements </vtml_volume>

    Attributes                Attribute Description

    volume                    Set the volume within 0 to 500(%) value. Required (Anything beyond this range

                                       will be set as minimum or maximum value. +, - symbols not usable)

    Example:

    <vtml_volume value="50"> Now I speak at half volume. </vtml_volume>

    You should see the difference in the waveform immediately after generating new audio:
