see what happened i spoke Chinese and PowerPoint displayed English subtitles
it also works the other way around hello everybody my name is Simon
so there we go I spoke English and PowerPoint displayed
Chinese subtitles now I bet you're wondering how I did that it's super easy you can too
great so there is a setting in PowerPoint 365 that will translate your speech into subtitles
on your screen I'll show you how but just beforehand you need to make sure that you've
got PowerPoint 365 comes with the office 365 suite just show you from the microsoft website
here there is a massive array of languages that you can use so let me show you how we can do it
presently as far as I'm aware there is no facility to actually save your subtitles perhaps that will
come soon microsoft will offer that or you could use a service like google translate so what do we
need to do so the first thing that we'll need to do is open the presentation that we wish to use
so i've got this one here if you don't have a presentation and just want to have a muck about
with it you could start off with a blank slide so then you're going to click on slideshow just here
at the top and then in captions and subtitles over here we're going to make sure the check
box is ticked the check box that says always use subtitles so make sure that that's ticked there
so then I'm going to go click on this drop down list that says subtitle settings
the first thing we need to do is choose our spoken language so you can choose from these number of
different languages here so I'm English united kingdom so I'm going to make sure that is selected
then back in the subtitle settings drop down menu I'm going to go down and choose the
subtitle language and here I've chosen Chinese simplified a couple of other options as well
you need to make sure that your microphone is plugged in and working so I'm going to use this
little bottom one here but a lot of webcams now come with a microphone I'm sure you might have one
that comes with your laptop as well so just make sure that's selected
and lastly still in the subtext site still in the subtitle settings menu
you can decide where you want your subtitles to appear so I'm going to choose below slide
okay so now you can press f5 on the keyboard or you can click on the start presentation button
here at the top there's also from beginning button just here to start your PowerPoint presentation
hello everybody my name is Simon did you know you can use PowerPoint to speak another language
by displaying subtitles in another language you can communicate with people all over the world
great so if you want to stop the subtitle service you can press this little button
just down at the bottom just here and then the subtitles are stopped if you no longer want to
present using subtitles if you want to end your presentation press escape on the keyboard
