Powertalk is now available for CC3 networks

Powertalk is a very simple utility to use. Once it is is installed, all you have to do is right-click on a Powerpoint presentation. Choose the new option; Narrate with Powerpoint

Powertalk will read the text that appearrs in the slides of the presentation. 

If you load a presentation in the usual way, a double clcik on the file, the presentation will be silent in the usual way.

You can set the voice that Powertalk will use to read the text. What really happens is that the utility -’Speech options’ will set the voice of your choice as the default voice for the user of the computer. This cannot be done in any other way on an RM CC3 network.  Most people will choose to use Heather , the  Scottish Voice, of course, if they have it available. Cereproc Heather has been licensed for use in all Scottish schools. Powertalk is a free utility.
