Voiceovers now read the speaker notes in your PowerPoint decks.
Upload a .pptx and Jellypod pulls the notes off each slide and uses them as context when it writes that slide's narration. Notes are usually the closest thing a deck has to a script: what the chart is actually showing, why the slide is there, the number behind the bullet. None of that is readable from the slide image alone, which is all a narrator had to work from before.
Jellypod treats notes as intent rather than a script to read out. It narrates their substance in the voiceover's own voice and skips the parts written for the presenter instead of the audience, such as timing cues or a reminder to ask the room a question. Direction you add at creation still outranks both the slides and the notes.
There is nothing to turn on. A deck without notes behaves exactly as it did before, and so does a deck where only some slides carry them.
Speaker notes only survive in the .pptx format. A .pptx export from Google Slides keeps them, a PDF export does not, so export as .pptx when your notes matter. Voiceover accepts PDF and .pptx files; export Keynote, OpenDocument, and other presentation formats to one of those first.
This works in the studio and in PowerPoint to Video. A PDF export drops the notes, so use the PowerPoint file when they should shape the narration.
