A PowerPoint add-in that converts your Speaker Notes to professional narrated MP4 videos. No recording. No editing. No subscription. Just click.
A native Mac app that turns your PowerPoint slides and notes into a narrated MP4 — fully offline. No recording. No subscription. Works with PowerPoint for Mac.
How It Works
Type your narration in PowerPoint's Speaker Notes — the same place you'd write presenter notes.
Select from free Neural Voices, then fine-tune speed and slide intervals to match your pace.
Hit "Create Video" and your narrated MP4 is generated and saved to your computer. Done.
Open your .pptx in the app — your Speaker Notes become the narration script.
Choose a built-in macOS voice, then fine-tune the speaking speed and the pause between slides.
Tweak the narration text if you like, pick your resolution — up to 4K — and export to your Mac.

Manual recording gives you a human voice — the best option when vocal authenticity matters most. PPT Narrator Video trades that for speed and zero production effort.
Manual recording captures your own voice and live on-screen motion — the best choice when a personal voice matters most. PPT Narrator Video trades that for speed, privacy and a one-time price, exporting your slides as static images with synced narration.
Use Cases
Create step-by-step training videos from your existing slides — no recording studio, no video editing skills. Perfect for onboarding, procedures, and operational manuals.
Send narrated proposals and product demos that speak for themselves — on the viewer's schedule. Your slides tell the story even when you're not in the room.
Turn your weekly deck into a video people actually watch. No more unread email attachments or scheduling meetings just to share updates.
Build lecture videos and course materials from your slides in minutes. Update a slide, regenerate the video — done. No re-recording needed.
Before You Buy
For the most natural narration, add Windows Neural voices for free. Open Settings → Time & Language → Speech → Add voices, pick your language (e.g. English (United States) or Spanish (Mexico)), and click Add. After the download finishes, fully restart PowerPoint and the new voices — tagged (Neural) — appear in the Voice dropdown alongside the built-in ones. (Voices added through Windows Narrator — the (Natural) / (Natural HD) ones — are reserved for Narrator and won't appear here.) See the Getting Started guide for step-by-step instructions.
Your Mac already includes natural-sounding voices for many languages, and you can add more for free: open System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → System Voice → Manage Voices, choose a language and voice, and download it. The new voice then appears in the app’s voice picker. For Japanese, the Kyoko voice is a great place to start.

Each license activates on one device. To move your license to a new computer, use the "Deactivate" button in the Manage License panel inside PowerPoint, then activate on your new device.

PPT Narrator Video supports both Windows SAPI 5 voices (Microsoft David, Zira, etc.) and Windows Neural voices (Microsoft Mark, Eva, Catherine, Ayumi, Haruka, Ichiro, etc.). Neural voices sound dramatically more natural and are free — add them via Settings → Time & Language → Speech → Add voices, pick your language, and click Add. After the download finishes, fully restart PowerPoint. Both engine types appear in the Voice dropdown side by side, tagged (SAPI) or (Neural) so you always know what you're picking. (Voices tagged (Natural) or (Natural HD) are reserved by Windows for the Narrator and don't appear — see the next question.) Watch the demo video at the top of this page to hear a Neural voice in action.
Plenty. PPT Narrator Video gives you Windows Neural voices — Microsoft Mark, Zira, David, Eva, Catherine and more for English, plus natural-sounding voices for 20+ other languages (for example, Sabina and Raul for Mexican Spanish, or Ayumi and Haruka for Japanese). They’re free, run fully offline, and sound dramatically better than the legacy SAPI voices. One note: Windows’ "Natural" / "Natural HD" voices (Aria, Andrew, and others) are reserved by Microsoft for the built-in Narrator accessibility tool and aren’t exposed to any third-party app — so they don’t appear here, in PPT Narrator Video or in any other non-Microsoft software. The Neural voices you do get are the highest-quality voices available to third-party apps on Windows.
Yes — there’s a dedicated PPT Narrator Video for Mac, a standalone Mac app you download directly (signed & notarized by Apple). (The Windows product on this page is a PowerPoint add-in and runs only on the Windows desktop version of PowerPoint — PowerPoint for Mac doesn’t support VSTO add-ins.) Switch to the For Mac tab at the top of the page to see the Mac app, its voices and pricing.
The app automates PowerPoint on your Mac to render your slides — something the Mac App Store’s sandbox rules don’t allow. So we distribute it directly instead. It’s signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS verifies it’s safe before it runs, and you download it straight from this site right after purchase.
Yes. The Mac app uses Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac to render your slides, so PowerPoint must be installed. You write narration in the Speaker Notes, pick a voice in the app, and export — PowerPoint renders the slides, the app adds the narration and builds the MP4.
The Mac app exports each slide as a static image with its narration — animations, builds and transitions are not reproduced. This is ideal for note-driven talks, training and lectures. If your deck depends on animations, Morph or 3D, our Windows add-in builds the full animated deck through PowerPoint’s own video export.
You can export at 720p, 1080p (the default), 1440p, or 4K (3840×2160). Pick the resolution in the app before you export. Slides are rendered at full resolution from PowerPoint, so even 4K stays sharp.
The app uses the natural-sounding voices built into macOS, across many languages. You can add more for free: open System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → System Voice → Manage Voices, pick a language and voice, and download it — it then appears in the app’s voice picker. For Japanese narration, the Kyoko voice is a good starting point.
Your purchase is a personal, one-time license. You download the app directly — there’s no App Store, Apple ID, or activation step — so you can install it on the Macs you personally use. Need several seats for a team? Get in touch via the contact form and we’ll arrange fair volume pricing.
No. Everything runs 100% locally on your computer. No internet connection is needed to generate videos. Your slides and notes never leave your machine.
720p and 1080p (Full HD). The default is 1080p. You can change the resolution in the PPT Narrator ribbon before generating your video.
