Make your presentations more inclusive and engaging with real-time captions in PowerPoint!
What are live captions?
Live captions transcribe your spoken words and display them on screen as you present. This can benefit:
- People who are deaf or hard of hearing
- Non-native speakers
- Everyone! Seeing the words can reinforce understanding.
How to use live captions:
- Microphone required: Make sure your computer has a microphone connected.
- Turn on captions: In PowerPoint (during your presentation), look for the "Slide Show" tab and enable "Always Use Subtitles" (or similar wording depending on your version).
- Choose your language: Select the language you're speaking and the language you want the captions to appear in (for translation).
- Present with captions! Your words will be transcribed and displayed for your audience.
For detailed instructions, watch our short 2-minute video tutorial.
Additional notes:
- A reliable internet connection is recommended for accurate speech recognition.
- You can adjust the caption position on the screen.
