Adding Narration Clips

· Add a text-to-speech voice narration clip to any individual screen item (text bullet, graphic, chart, etc) with a simple dialog that allows you to enter the text to be spoken and choose the voice to speak it. Text can be typed in or dictated. The clips are played in sequence in the slide show.

· Automatically adds a standard PowerPoint animation effect to the individual screen item which animates when the narration clip plays. You can select the effect parameters: effect type, effect trigger, delay, duration, and timing relative to the start of the narration.

· Add multiple voice narration clips to the slide background for static non-animated slides. The narration clips play in sequence.

· Change the order in which the narration clips are played in the slide show with the Organizer.

· Add an interactive narration clip to a screen graphic - it plays each time the graphic is clicked. A standard PowerPoint emphasis effect is added to the graphic which animates when the narration clip plays.

Subtitles

· Create subtitles for each narration clip. Subtitles are displayed automatically in coordination with the narration.

· Subtitles that are too long to fit on the screen are automatically subdivided and displayed in succession, synched with the voice.

Multiple Audio Sources

· Instead of using text-to-speech for the narration you can import a sound file or record your own voice.

Editing Clips

· The SAPI voice editor lets you modulate adjust and fine-tune the text-to-speech voice.  You can introduce delays, change pitch, speed and volume and add emphasis within the flow of the speech.

· Edit existing individual narration clips with the Edit dialog.

· Edit the text for all narration clips on a slide at one time with the Slide Clip Text Editor

· Copy, cut and paste narration clips between screen items. Create new clips from existing ones.

·  Undo previous commands

· Edit voice sound files directly with Sound Recorder. After a narration clip has been created with a TTS voice, you can edit its sound file directly with the Sound Recorder. This allows you to insert or mix in other sounds as well as adjusting the volume and speed

PowerPoint Notes

· Writes formatted narration clip text to PowerPoint notes pane in the order the clips are played in the presentation. Ideal for handouts.

· Import existing notes from PowerPoint notes pane for narration clip text.

Voice Schemes

· Use voice schemes to determine how voices are assigned to the PowerPoint shapes for the entire presentation.
