How to Enable Captions and Subtitles in PowerPoint – Guide
If you are presenting a slide show to other people who communicate in a different language, using subtitles in Microsoft PowerPoint can help you speak to your audience without having to do the translation work yourself. If you have members of your audience who speak a different language or dialect, consider translating the slides and even creating two presentation forms. But with subtitles in Microsoft PowerPoint, you don’t have to do both. ..
You can use your mother tongue to communicate with others in real-time and have subtitles of each part spoken in any other language of your choice. You just need a connected and working microphone with a secure web connection for live translation. Then, you can speak through each slide for everyone to understand. ..
