Unexpected Text-to-Speech Activation When Pressing Enter in "Correct Values" Field of Fill in Text Entries Question

ActivePresenter Support Questions
1

Hello,

Environment:

  • OS: macOS 15.3.2 (24D81)
  • App Version: ActivePresenter 9.3.0 – 64-bit build (Released: 2025.04.08)

Description:
When configuring a Fill in Text Entries question, pressing Enter after typing a value in the Correct Values field of the Interactivity tab unintentionally triggers Text-to-Speech under the Audio tab. The text entered is automatically converted into speech and added to the project, even though this behavior is not desired or manually initiated.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open ActivePresenter (Version 9.3.0 – 64-bit).
  2. Create or open a project.
  3. Insert a Fill in Text Entries question slide.
  4. Go to the Interactivity tab.
  5. In the Text Entry section, type a value into the Correct Values field.
  6. Press Enter to confirm the value.

Expected Result:
The value should be confirmed in the Correct Values field without any additional actions triggered.

Actual Result:
The Text-to-Speech feature under the Audio tab is automatically triggered. The typed text is converted to audio and added to the project timeline.

Impact:
This unintended behavior interrupts the workflow, creates unnecessary audio clips, and requires additional steps to remove them. It is especially problematic when repeatedly entering multiple correct values.

Question:
Is there a global setting to permanently disable this Text-to-Speech auto-trigger behavior when pressing Enter in the Correct Values field?

Hi,

Could you please send us a video to illustrate the issue?
I’ve tried reproducing the issue following your steps, but it seems fine: entering the correct value doesn’t trigger the TTS in the Audio tab.

Best regards,

Hi,

I’ve recorded a screen capture illustrating the issue and attached it here.
As you can see in the video, when I enter a value and press Enter, it automatically generates a Text to Speech file in the Audio tab.

Best regards,

Additional Information:
This issue is not limited to the field shown in the video. It also occurs in all string and numeric fields in the Properties section. When a value is entered and the Enter key is pressed in these fields, it automatically triggers Text-to-Speech file generation in the Audio tab.
