Skills Slides to lesson

Your slides, turned into a narrated video lesson.

Upload your deck as a PDF or as pictures, up to 40 slides, and Chasca turns it into a narrated video lesson: your slides exactly as you made them, read from your speaker notes word for word or narrated from what is on them, while a soft highlight and a pointer move to each part as it is named. It is made for teachers, trainers and anyone with a deck and no time to record themselves over it.

Who it’s for

Made for people who teach from slides.

Teachers and lecturers

Turn this week’s lecture deck into a lesson students can watch again before the test, without recording yourself in an empty classroom.

Trainers and L&D teams

Send new starters the onboarding deck as a narrated video, so their first week doesn’t wait for a free slot in your calendar.

Compliance and policy training

Walk every member of staff through the same phishing or policy deck, slide by slide, with the pointer on the line that matters.

How it works

From a deck to a narrated lesson.

  1. 1

    Add your slides

    A PDF of the deck or the slides as pictures, up to 40. Paste your notes to have them read word for word.

  2. 2

    Every slide is read

    Text, charts and pictures on each slide are read, and the narration is written from them or taken from your notes.

  3. 3

    A pointer on what is said

    A highlight and a pointer move to each part of the slide as it is named.

  4. 4

    A narrated lesson

    Your slides, unchanged, with a voice in your language, ready for class or training.

  • Speaker notes, read word for word

    A travel and expenses deck narrated from the presenter’s own notes, one block per slide, every word as written.

    PromptGood morning, everyone. Today I want to walk you through our new travel and expenses policy, which starts on the first of December. It should take about two minutes. First, booking travel. From now on, please book every train and flight in the travel portal, so we get our company rates. For trips under six hours, book economy. And try to book at least fourteen days ahead, because it is usually far cheaper. Next, the daily limits. A hotel can cost up to one hundred and eighty dollars a night, and meals up to sixty dollars a day. A taxi is fine when no train or bus gets you there. Claiming it back is now simpler. Take a photo of every receipt in the expenses app, and claim within thirty days. You will be paid with your next salary. That is everything. If anything is unclear, ask the finance team, or read the full policy on the intranet. Thank you, and safe travels.

What it won’t do

  • Change your slides.
  • Add facts that aren’t on them.
  • Open a PowerPoint file yet: export the deck as a PDF first.
  • Play slide animations: each slide is shown as it finally looks.

Why we built it

Many lessons and trainings already exist as slide decks, and turning one into a video usually means recording yourself over it, take after take. Teachers and trainers have the deck and the notes; what they lack is the hour in a quiet room. We built Slides to lesson so a deck becomes a narrated lesson without anyone recording a word.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? The main FAQ covers voices, languages and the API.

Yes. Chasca’s Slides to lesson skill turns a deck into a narrated video lesson: your slides as you made them, narrated from your speaker notes word for word or from what is on the slides, with a highlight and a pointer moving to each part as it is named. Upload the deck as a PDF or as pictures.

Export it as a PDF first, then add the PDF: PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides can all save one. A PDF doesn’t carry your speaker notes, so paste them in the box if you want them read.

Yes, with “My notes, word for word”. Paste the notes, one block per slide or with “Slide 1:”, “Slide 2:” markers, and every word is read as written; nothing is cut. A slide your notes skip gets a sentence or two in the same voice.

Leave it on “Write it from my slides”, the default. The text, charts and pictures on each slide are read, and the narration says what each slide means in plain spoken sentences, without adding anything that isn’t on the slides or in your request.

The deck sets it, 6 to 45 seconds a slide, up to 30 minutes on a paid plan. A free video is up to a minute, which fits a deck of up to 10 slides.

Yes. With “Write it from my slides”, pick any of the 79 languages Chasca narrates in and the narration is written in it, while the slides stay exactly as they are.
