MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006A recorded speech should be able to auto advance slides
It would be great if you could insert a recorded speech where power point could show a time line and you could insert click advances a differnt times durning that speech so that it will automatically advance your slides to corespond with your speech. This would be great for training or for use on the web. You can record a narration as you run through the show advancing the slides as you speak then save the timings.

Run through your presentation clicking when you want etc and say 'yes' when it asks if you want to save the timings at the end of the show. When you replay the show it will run itself (as long as you have selected 'Use timings if present' under Advance Slides in the slide show->setup show dilaogue box).

Thanks a bunch. I am curious if it will work on the web. I know you have 2 different ways putting on the web either the ppt file itself or a generated web fill but if you have this 12 meg mp3 file in the power point file will it have to be fully dowloaded before it will begin play or will it stream?

There one last thing I need help with. This auto advancing the slide using mp3 looks like it will only work as long as it on my computer because I can't figure out how to point the mp3 file to my website folder. This would be perfect if could tell me how to do this. I am still curious how much a delay there will be since the mp3 file will be at the mercy of the user connection speed. > I have'nt tried it yet but that looks like it will work. Thanks a bunch.

Are you using a media server to stream the media?

I already use it to stream audion and it works fine on dsl or higher. All I really need to know is there a way to point to the mp3 file so that it will look for it in the same directory as the power point file. That will make it possible for it to find it and pick it from the web folder and it would make it possible to read from a CD if a person decides to put their speech/presntaion on it to give to others. > Too many unknowns.

As soon as the audio for a slide finishes it moves to the next slide. It was a little more work doing it that way but it worked just fine. I used "what you hear" as the recording source and used my computer microphone to make the audio explanation for each slide. I recorded them as mp3 then converted them to .wav using a free copy of CDEX which keeps the wave file about as small as the mp3 original so it can be imbedded without making the overall ppt file too large. That way it insures it will play OK on any computer that has PPT Viewer. You can get the free converter at http://cd-to-mp3.audiolaunch.com/cd-ripper/ SignatureDarrell R.

My mp3 was 14 meg and once it converted it to wav it was 162 meg. That way to big to stream on the web and to have to break up a speech for each slide is more work than I am willing to do. Thanks anyway. > I did a presentation similar to what the original question asked by making > audio files for each slide.

I did mine quite a while ago. I forgot that I downloaded and used "Ace MP3 To WAV Converter" to do that type of conversion (not CDEX). My resultant .wav files were the same size as the .mp3 files.

I think if you go back and compare your mp3 you recorded to the wav it is probably much bigger. Thanks for trying to help me. I still need someone to let me know if I can point the linked mp3 file to the root directory or specific web directory > Sorry about that. I did mine quite a while ago.

All you have to do is package the file for CD and then just copy the ppt file and the mp3 file to the web. > That software worked better as it took the 14 meg to 82 meg but it still way > to big.

One contains the original mp3 files. The other holds the wave files that were converted. If I open those folders side by side the corresponding wave file is exactly the same size as the original mp3.

I did'nt see any option for changing how much it compresses. The difference may be is that you converted a mp3 that was saved at it highest setting because for the web I just save them as radio quality. This somewhere in the middle between best and worse quality. Besides all this I figured out how to fix my problem. Here is an example of what I achieved http://www.lgchurchofchrist.com/thedangersofprocrastanauto.ppt > I don't know exactly what you did with Ace MP3 To WAV Converter but I have 2 > folders.

It has no audio for me. It may work for you if the audio files are on your computer and the ppt program points to them. That's why it has to be imbedded as a wave for recipients to also hear it.

I tried on 3 different computers and it worked on all 3. I wonder if you have some setting on you computer that is keeping the sound from playing? > Hmmm. It has no audio for me.
