Speaker notes

Slides and speaker notes that agree.

Turn your notes, readings or data into an editable presentation with speaker notes written for saying out loud. Every figure in the notes links to the same source as the slide, so they never drift apart.

Free preview: 3 slides from your own sources. No card needed.

Illustrative speaker notes with invented data for slide 3: timed spoken lines with pause and click cues tied to the slide, each figure linked to its source.

Sourced from the start

Built from your material, not stock filler.

Start from a topic and your own sources. SlideDeck proposes an outline with timings and shows which points your sources can’t back up yet, before a single slide or note is written.
  • Outline and timing approved by you first
  • Claims linked to passages, pages or rows
  • Gaps shown, not papered over
Illustrative research desk with invented data: three uploaded sources, claims with their evidence states, and the Show the source drawer open on feedback sheet rows 2 to 31, where 24 of 30 responses say they would attend again.

Edit without drift

Change a slide. The notes keep up.

Edit by hand for free, or ask SlideDeck for a scoped change. You see which notes, script lines and questions a change affects before you apply it, and locked figures stay locked.
  • Manual edits never use AI allowance
  • AI edits scoped to a selection, slide or section
  • Undo restores slides and notes together
Illustrative editor with invented data: the slide rail, slide 3 selected, and an Ask SlideDeck request scoped to one element of this slide, with the 24 of 30 figure locked and a previewed change waiting for approval.

Export

  • Speaker notes in the .pptx itself
  • Native, editable text, charts and tables
  • Opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides via .pptx
Illustrative export centre with invented data: PowerPoint, PDF, DOCX script and Markdown files for version 3, and the PowerPoint compatibility report listing what carries over natively, what changes, and what does not carry over.

Written to be spoken

Notes you can say without stumbling.

An editorial pass checks the notes the way a good speechwriter would.

  • 01

    Short spoken sentences

    Long, clause-heavy sentences are split so they can be said in one breath.

  • 02

    Your terminology

    Terms from your sources and your brief are kept, not swapped for synonyms.

  • 03

    No padding

    Generic openings, repetitive transitions and unsupported superlatives are flagged.

  • 04

    Style is not fact

    A wording suggestion is always marked separately from a factual correction.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Something else? Write to support. A person answers.

What goes into the speaker notes?
Your choice: the full script for each slide, or a short cue-card version. Sources that shouldn’t be read aloud stay visible in the notes as references.
Do the notes update when I change a slide?
They’re linked. Change a figure or a claim and the notes that depend on it are flagged with suggested wording, so what you say still matches what you show. Nothing is rewritten without your approval.
Will the notes sound like me?
They’re written for speaking: short sentences, your own terminology, no generic openings or padded phrasing. Style suggestions are always marked separately from factual corrections, and you can edit anything by hand for free.
Can I add notes to a deck I already have?
Yes. Import a PPTX or PDF, and SlideDeck can draft notes for it and prepare practice questions. Your original file stays untouched.
