ELLAHow to convert a slide deck
Convert a deck
- Upload the .pptx file. See PowerPoint decks for what ELLA does with them.
- Say how to treat charts: "List the numbers in each chart".
- Send the request. Answer any question.
- Download the files and check them against the original.
What to say about notes
If the speaker's notes matter to the reader, say so in your request, and check that the result includes them. A deck is often a skeleton, and the meaning is in what the speaker says.
Check
- Count the slides and compare with the result.
- Check that each slide's content is in the same order as on screen.
- Read the descriptions of pictures, charts and diagrams.
- For a fixed deck, open it with a screen reader and move through every slide.
When ELLA cannot do it
ELLA fixes a PowerPoint file you give it. It does not make a new PowerPoint from another kind of file. If you have a Word file and want slides, make them in PowerPoint first.
Tips
- Short slides make short handouts. Check that nothing important is only in a picture.
- A deck with text inside pictures needs those pictures described or retyped.
