I am wondering how to effectively implement voice files to sound professional
for academic presentations? In addition, I am required to use "Impatica",
although I have no clue as to how to use or where to find? As a last
requirement of this assignment- I have to interview an SME about this
assignment and report my finding back to my class. I was given this website
as a way to approach my interview of an SME. Any information will be useful
in completing my assignment. Thank you.

Learning to use Google or another search engine is a valuable part of your
education. Go to http://www.google.com and type in Impatica. The first hit
goes to impatica.com: "impatica.com is an industry leader in developing
software to allow plug-in free, streaming delivery of PowerPoint, Director
and video content via e-mail and ... "

You'll want to read the Impatica documentation about adding sound. Each of
these "convert PPT to another format" applications seems to handle sound
differently and need it inserted in a different way.

I would not consider posting a question in this group to be the same as
interviewing a subject matter expert, but perhaps your prof does.

So SME = Subject Matter Expert? Not Small to Medium Enterprise like it does
in Oz? Interesting :-)

I think it probably depends on context, but I usually see / hear it
referring to Subject Matter Expert here in the US.

Ruthann,

Our product Speech-Over will let you implement professional sounding
voice files in PowerPoint academic presentations by using text-to-
speech voices (without recording). You add the TTS voices in
PowerPoint with Speech-over and run Impatica on the resulting ppt
file.

For more info see www.speechover.com. If you want to interview me as
an SME, no problem.
