SlideTalk Gives Voice–Beautifully–To Your Pictures & PowerPoint Presentations

SlideTalk Gives Voice–Beautifully–To Your Pictures & PowerPoint Presentations | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"SlideTalk is a service where you upload either sets of images, or complete PowerPoint presentations. Once uploaded, SlideTalk adds narration via high quality text to speech that can be customized for pronunciation, reading rate, voice timbre and more. There are at least 17 languages available, and multiple voices are available for most languages. You can even  change voices or languages within a presentation."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Have you wanted a tool that would allow you to upload a PowerPoint (or pictures) and type in text, and have it read to you? Well now you can. SlideTalk allows you to upload your slides (or pictures), enter your text and they provide the audio voice over, which is published on YouTube. This post provides an overview by Paul Hamilton as well as 2 PowerPoint slideshows he used from Tar Heel Reader site as well as one from SlideTalk that explains the process. There are many ways one could use this tool.
