Tips:

  • Spell out acronyms with hyphens (e.g., AI becomes “aye-eye”).
  • If a word has an unusual pronunciation, consider rephrasing or substituting it with a synonym or at minimum try rearranging the words.
  • For pauses, use 2-3 commas (e.g., “Hello everyone ,,, my name is Howard”), or repeat the image on another slide with more text.
  • Avoid empty slides (ensure every slide has speaker notes).
  • Keep the browser open during video rendering.
  • Limit presentations to 25 ~ 50 slides to speed up rendering.
