PPT Speech Generator

Specific Problem

Manually crafting speech scripts for PPT presentations is a common pain point. Presenters often need to write per-slide notes and copy them into PowerPoint's notes pane, a repetitive and error-prone task, especially with complex or lengthy decks. Ensuring natural flow across slides without disjointed transitions also challenges many users, impacting speech coherence.

How the Skill Works

This AI-based skill automates PPT speech generation with the following core workflow:
- Upload and Parsing: Supports standard .pptx PPT files; the program uses python-pptx library to parse each slide's title and content, forming the basis for generation.
- Parameter Setting: Users specify audience (e.g., clients, leaders, trainees) and style (e.g., sales, report, training). AI adjusts the script's tone and focus based on these parameters for context-appropriate delivery.
- AI Script Generation: AI creates natural narration per slide without repeating PPT text, mimicking human speaking style with a standard pace of 30-50 seconds per slide. Key capabilities include:
- Context Linking: Each slide references the previous one, ensuring logical continuity across the speech and avoiding a "stitched article" feel.
- Multi-style Support: For instance, sales style emphasizes value propositions, report style prioritizes clear logic, and training style aims for accessibility.
- Auto-write to Notes: Generated scripts are automatically inserted into each slide's Notes pane. The output file is ppt_with_notes.pptx, which users can open and present directly via "View → Notes".
- Dual Outputs: Besides the PPT, it provides the full script text for editing, proofing, or export to other formats.

Applicability and Notes

• Dependencies: Requires the python-pptx library installed; otherwise, PPT manipulation fails.
• File Permissions: The process writes to temporary files, so write permissions must be ensured in the environment.
• Slide Limit: Recommended ≤ 20 slides; exceeding this may degrade generation quality or affect speed.
• Content Requirements: PPTs should have clear titles and concise points for optimal results; ambiguous or cluttered content may lead to suboptimal scripts.
• Output Verification: After generation, it's advisable to verify note content and check the script text against expectations, making manual adjustments if necessary.
