Here is a solution for Captivate swallowing the first syllable of spoken text

It happens occasionaly to me, using Captivate 8, that text which was generated by the text-to-speech feature is not fully audible when the slide is displayed (even in a preview!).

I found the following solution for it:

1. Go to the problematic slide
2. In the top menu, click Audio | Edit | Slide
3. Position the red Playhead cursor at the audio's start
4. Click the "Insert silence" icon (the right-most icon under the Edit menu-item)
5. A small pop-up window shows "insert 1 sec. at Playhead position".  Click OK.
6. Click Save.

Now when you replay the slide, there is a good chance that the first syllable of the text is audible.
