Overview

This tutorial explains how to add audio narrations to powerpoint files using Windows and Mac versions of Microsoft Powerpoint.

As Powerpoint files with audio may become quite large we suggest you use the Dropbox application to share your files with us. Dropbox is a system that lets you share a folder on your computer with other users, or between different computers you own (e.g. home, office, iPad/iphone). It is a very useful collaboration tool in our experience.

If you are referencing additional files in your presentations, such as video files please also add them to your Dropbox folder so we have all the necessary files to make your presentation work.

Once you have setup your Dropbox folder, any files you add can be seen by our team here (including the co-ordinating staff from the Save Sight Institute). So if you have questions, or want feedback on your content, you can create a file, add it to Dropbox and send us an email, we can then review the file and send you feedback. This can also be useful in assisting if you have a question about the audio quality of your presentation or some other technical question.

For best quality we recommend that you use a USB headset with microphone. You can get one of these for less than $60 at any electronics or computer equipment store, and most brands will be fine, however if you would like a specific recommendation we will be happy to provide this (email to support@oceanbrowser.com)

We are happy to provide one-to-one support to assist you in preparing your presentation. If you would like some help, please just send an email to support@oceanbrowser.com and we will arrange a time with you to assist you via phone or web.
