Translate PowerPoint (.pptx) and Keep the Speaker Notes
Speaker notes are part of the deck, so they are translated with it instead of being left in the source language for the presenter to discover on stage.
What Survives When You Translate PowerPoint (.pptx)
- Slide masters, layouts and placeholder geometry are untouched; text is replaced inside the shapes it already lived in.
- Speaker notes are translated with the deck rather than left in the source language for the presenter to find on stage.
- Tables, grouped shapes and diagram text are reached individually rather than flattened into one block.
- Images, video and background graphics are left exactly as they were. Only text nodes change.

What This Does Not Do
- Translated text is often longer than the source. Where a slide was already full the text can overflow its shape, and we do not silently shrink it to hide that.
- Anything the verify stage cannot confirm falls back to the source text, visible and untranslated. A file that looks finished but is not is the one outcome we will not ship.

- Speaker notes are part of the deck, so they are translated with it instead of being left in the source language for the presenter to discover on stage.
- What happens to my file afterwards?
- Uploaded and generated files are automatically deleted within 24 hours, and are never used to train a model.

No card and no per-file character minimum. If a segment cannot be translated confidently you will see it fall back, rather than a green tick over a guess.
