HelloSlide – Bring your slides to life

Via Scoop.itTech Pedagogy

Save your ppt to pdf and upload here.  Add text for each slide or just use your slide notes if you have them.  Voila a nice British accented voice (others if you prefer) will read those notes as sure as Bob’s yer uncle.

 

“Simply type the speech for each slide, instead of recording it, and HelloSlide automagically generates the audio. It gives more exposure to your presentations, making them searchable, editable, and available in 20 different languages.”

I think Lisa Johnson has re-purposed her own work very handily on Pinterest.  Makes me think of all the portfolio possibilities inherent in linking a blog to Pinterest.  Some of my students are inveterate Pinners so I think this is an awesome match and a good model.
