Is there a way to have PowerPoint read the words in your presenta.

[Guest]

As the title states, I was wondering if there a way to have PowerPoint read
the words in your presentation out loud for you? I know that in Word, and
other Office applications you can have the application read the text out loud
(also does anybody know this key combination to make it read outloud?) I know
I am lazy for wanting it to do all the work but why waste technology? Thanks
for the help!

If you mean "text to speech", PowerPoint doesn't have that feature. I believe
that only Excel offers that. Word and PowerPoint offer Speech to Text, which
is the reverse. You speak and typing is done automatically.

There's a free application called PowerTalk that will do this for you:

Along with what both Sonia and Glenna suggest, you could also use Microsoft
Agent characters to do your talking.
