@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main There is a lot of chatter and claims about creating meaningful PowerPoint including some NFB presentations. The Latex command line will still get a Blind person much farther than Powerpoint guesses and approximations!

@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main Another thing that we do is have ChatGPT create images and put them on separate slides. That way, we don’t have to worry about the formatting and moving things around and what it looks like.
@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main To get started, you can create a markdown or word file with all of your text. That way the slides will be made for you when you convert it to PowerPoint. You’re heading ones or the slide titles and heading to is the body of your slide. Once you do that, you can convert it to PowerPoint and have the basic presentation and then add your graphics and notes after that.
@DesireeRenae @mastoblind @main Hmm, I'll have to look into this. I didn't know you could make presentations with Markdown.
@RareBird15 @DesireeRenae @mastoblind @main Markdown works for standard presentations but it doesn't cover math or special styles and citations. On the iPhone and Mac there is a presentation app called Deckset which is designed around Markdown which builds the slides automatically but it again doesn't give the completeness of the Latex ecosystem.
@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main We have training material for PowerPoint if you would like to learn the program in more detail: nvaccess.org/product/microsoft It should be possible to create a presentation including graphics and speaker notes. Which version of PowerPoint are you using?
@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main I think you are better off using Latex Beamer and finding a workflow around that such as tex.stackexchange.com/question
