Speaker notes

Speaker notes that stay attached to the slide

Notes written in one tool and delivered from another get lost. In Podium the script lives on the slide it belongs to, from the first draft through to the room.

Write for the ear, not the page

The editor treats a script as something you will say out loud. Write per slide, keep the phrasing short, and rehearse it before the meeting rather than reading it cold.

  • A script field on every slide, saved with the presentation
  • Dictate a take out loud and turn it into editable text
  • Rewrite a rough script into something that sounds natural spoken

Rehearse the way you will deliver

Solo mode runs the presentation exactly as the presenter view will show it, so practice matches performance instead of approximating it.

Notes survive reuse

When you reopen a deck next quarter, the reasoning behind each slide is still there. That is usually the difference between reusing a presentation and rebuilding it.

Keep the script with the slide

Write, rehearse and present from the same place.
