Can’t I just export to PDF, or upload the deck to SlideShare?
 Can’t I just export to PDF, or upload the deck to SlideShare?
Sometimes that’s genuinely enough, and we’ll say so. But a PDF isn’t responsive, carries none of your narration, and is only as accessible as the tags in the original. A slide-hosting site gives you a viewer on a domain you don’t control.

No — that’s the whole point. The one habit worth adopting is writing real sentences in the speaker notes, because that becomes your narration. If your notes are thin, we’ll flag it before we start.

One caveat we’ll always be straight about — voice cloning runs through a third party, so for sensitive content we use offline synthesis instead.

No. The conversion is deterministic — it reads the real structure of your file through the Office APIs. AI is used in exactly one place: turning your written notes into speech. Your words stay your words.

For one deck, no — that’s the four-figure service, and it might be the free gitSlides route. Six figures is a year-long automation programme where the alternative is three full-time people doing it by hand. We’ve never talked anyone up a tier.
