WEBVTT 00:00.684 --> 00:34.348 Dubbin' in the dark, gonna find our spark. Blind tech magic, learn and love, embark. With Desiree Renee guiding us today. Feel the keys in play, let the tech light our way. Jargon in our head code, we got a thread. Smart and witty paths out of words unsaid. Screen reader sings, it's that new age bling. Oh, it's tech exploring, makes our spirits swing. Eyes closed, we're seeing. Hearts beating and believing. Together we're achieving, no hurdles deceiving. Desiree's leading, all the knowledge we're feeding. Laughing while we're reading this tech quest succeeding. 00:34.348 --> 01:58.470 Hey everybody, and welcome to today's episode of Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renee. I'm glad everybody could join us today. It's going to be a packed episode with some really exciting things. So I brought Jonathan back onto the podcast, and he will be doing a demonstration of several features that are available with his application PresentABLE. And if you don't remember exactly what that is, you can listen to our episode on PresentABLE where we talked about how it came to be and all of that good stuff. For today, I'm going to play the interview for you, and just to let you know, it is very packed because there are so many great features about this application that it took a long time to kind of get through all of the things that Jonathan wanted to show us today. So let's get started with that, and I hope you enjoy it. Okay, so I am here with Jonathan now, and welcome back, Jonathan. Thanks for having me. Yes, uh, thank you so much. Um, you are going to walk us through and demonstrate some awesome features of your PresentABLE application, so I'm just gonna hand it over to you and let you take it away. 01:58.470 --> 02:55.642 All right, thank you. So for those who don't know what this is, it is a fully accessible PowerPoint presentation creation app designed by me, Vibe Coding, and then it was brought to its final finishing touches with the help of Brian Harchin of Harchin Consultancy. And we are selling the app. It is currently on pre-order. You can find it at harchinconsultancy.com/presentable. It will actually be available to the public and fully on sale on November 23rd. If you want to hear more about the backstory of PresentABLE and a discussion of a lot of the features that we won't get to today because it's packed full of features, you can listen to an interview Desiree did with me on a previous episode of Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renee. 02:57.106 --> 02:58.003 Awesome. Yes. 02:58.003 --> 04:49.139 Before we get started in the app, I just want to make a few preliminary points so people understand. Because we are creating PowerPoint presentations, it will be really helpful to you if you have PowerPoint installed on your computer. It uses it in some instances to measure and render slide details, to provide information on your project's accessibility and some other things. But honestly, ultimately, You'll need PowerPoint anyway to run a presentation. The other thing you should know is it works with JAWS 2022 or later. That being said, obviously the later the version you have, probably the better success you'll have using the app. For this demo, I'm using JAWS 2026 with the September and latest update fully installed. I've turned my speech down from what I normally use JAWS at, so hopefully that will help this make more sense to everybody. With all of that being said, I'm going to get into the demonstration, and we're going to cover, I hope, 4 different things. One is going to be the preferences of Presentable. Then we'll show the tabs, like the, the main working area within the app. The bulk of the presentation is going to actually be on basic presentation creation. And then the 4th thing is going to be we'll briefly open the PowerPoint presentation that we make here today just to prove to people that it, it actually does work and it can be done. With all of that out of the way, I'm going to hit Enter on the app and we'll begin. 04:49.139 --> 04:54.533 Enter. Presentable, new presentation button, Ctrl+N, create a presentation, then add its first slide. 04:54.822 --> 05:09.686 So now I'm just going to briefly tab through the home screen, what launches when you first open the app. And as you heard, we landed on new presentation, which is what you're going to probably wind up doing most of the time. But I'm just going to tab through the rest of this. 05:10.136 --> 05:17.953 Open presentation button, Ctrl+O, open an existing Presentable project. Import presentation button, Alt+I, choose PowerPoint, Word, a Markdown file, or type Markdown to create a presentation. 05:18.643 --> 06:30.336 You can do a lot of things outside of the app if you want to. You can import a Markdown file, a Word file, even an existing PowerPoint if you want to begin or work on a project from that standpoint. When I was creating Presentable, my assumption was that I would create Markdown files and import them and just do the finishing touches in the app. The app has turned out so nicely that I actually think I'm going to create most of my presentations inside the app. That being said, I left the functionality in here because I may use it and others may as well. I do want to say the user guide, especially for those who are familiar with Brian Harchand's products, will— can imagine it's very detailed and full of information. If you want to learn more about the importing and what you can actually create create outside of Presentable and how it's imported and anything else about the app, you really should check out the user guide. So now I'm just going to tab through the rest of the home screen here. 06:30.769 --> 06:34.119 New from template button. Alt+Shift+N. Create a new presentation from a saved collection of slides. 06:34.552 --> 06:50.117 So we do, like PowerPoint does, we allow you to create templates. I have a couple of templates created already for consistent projects I'm working on. That's beyond the scope of what we're going to discuss here today, but it is a feature the app does offer. 06:50.502 --> 06:55.730 Recent presentations list box. Review slides. 1 of 10. Ctrl+Shift+O. Choose a recent presentation with up or down arrow. Enter opens it. 06:55.730 --> 07:05.784 This obviously shows your 10 most recent presentations. If you want to open one of those, you can just up or down arrow to it, hit Enter, and off you go. Um, there is— 07:05.784 --> 07:07.115 Open selected presentation. 07:07.115 --> 07:09.777 An Open button. You can use that as well. 07:09.777 --> 07:12.760 New presentation button. Ctrl+N. Create a presentation, then add it. 07:12.760 --> 07:17.009 And we're back to New, and I'm just going to hit spacebar on New. 07:17.346 --> 07:23.315 Space. New presentation dialog. Presentation name edit. Untitled presentation. Alt+N. Name this presentation. This is separate from its file name and slide titles. 07:23.315 --> 07:51.215 So what we're doing here is putting a name on our presentation. This name will appear at the beginning of the Slides tab as a reminder of what you're doing and where you are. It doesn't have to be the same name you give the file name when you save the project, but I think it really should be, and so that's my practice, but you can do what you want. For this Purpose, I'm just going to put in Learning Blind Tech. 07:51.536 --> 07:53.042 Presentation name edit Learning Blind Tech. 07:53.379 --> 07:54.821 And now I'm just going to hit Enter. 07:55.221 --> 08:00.301 Presentation created. Add a slide to begin. Learning Blind Tech presentable. Add slide button. Control Shift N. Choose a layout. 08:00.669 --> 08:11.341 Now before we get into all of this, I'm going to take you briefly through the preferences of the app. So I'm going to open those with Control Comma. Very standard. 08:12.286 --> 08:15.555 Presentable settings dialog. Projects folder edit. See users. Johnnet OneDrive presentable. 08:15.972 --> 08:45.122 And we land in the first tab, which is a Folders tab. There are a lot of customizations you can do here because I really like to keep my files and projects organized through folders that make sense to me. You don't have to do any of this if you don't want to, but I do. So the first one is the Projects, and that's where all the projects you save in Presentable will go into this particular folder. And you can paste the path, 08:46.021 --> 08:46.791 or 08:47.545 --> 08:48.636 you can browse for 08:48.941 --> 08:49.823 it. 08:50.513 --> 09:35.263 The export folder is a folder where when you export a PowerPoint presentation, that's where the app will automatically save it. I like having a folder for this purpose so I can easily find my created PowerPoint presentations later. And again, we have a Browse button, and I'm just going to go through this a little quickly. The Images folder, I think, is important. If you're only going to do one of these, I would probably do this one because it's where you're going to find your images to insert in your project. And so if you're actually using those, and I do now that it's easy to do, you're going to want to have an easy way of finding them. 09:36.017 --> 09:38.277 Browse images folder button. Choose backup folder. Edit. See users. 09:38.277 --> 09:55.883 Your backup folder makes another backup of your presentation, so you might want to know where those are going. I will say the app has a very extensive backup and restoration feature, and you'll want to read about that in the user guide for more information. 09:55.883 --> 09:58.898 Browse backup folder button. Choose templates folder. Edit. See users. 09:58.898 --> 10:06.791 There's your templates folder. So if you want to grab a template or Know where it's going to be saved. There it is. 10:07.225 --> 10:08.895 Browse temp reusable slides folder edit. 10:09.296 --> 10:20.440 Reusable slides. I could put a folder for this so I know where they are, but they're slides that I want to use across projects, and we'll demonstrate that in this demonstration. 10:20.777 --> 10:26.910 Browse reusable slides folder. But save settings button. Save the pending folder. Speech recovery format cancel button. Closed folders tab selected. Control shift. 10:27.199 --> 10:31.002 And now we're back at the tabs. And I'm just going to hit the right arrow key. 10:31.002 --> 10:32.525 Speech and Recovery tab selected. 10:32.525 --> 10:38.249 In here is where you'll find all of your speech settings. And I'm just going to tab through these. 10:38.249 --> 11:02.829 Speak short confirmations checkbox checked. Choose whether short action confirmations are spoken. Guided hints have their own guidance setting. Announce progress checkbox checked. Choose whether supported processing milestones produce short progress announcements. Guidance combo box. Guided, 2 of 2. Guided sends short purpose hints to speech and Braille. Standard leaves those hints off. Announce shortcut keys checkbox checked. Announce the documented key when focus moves. Recovery save interval in seconds, edit 60. Set automatic recovery saving between 15 and 3,600 seconds. 11:02.829 --> 11:11.503 It's always good to have things automatically save, I feel like. So you might just want to make sure you have something in here. 11:11.503 --> 11:15.704 Clear recent files button. Clear the recent project list when you save these settings. Project files remain on disk. 11:15.704 --> 11:59.222 All of these speech things I have turned on for the purposes of this demo. And as you're probably already noticing, you're getting a lot of verbosity. I've been using the app long enough so that when I'm actually working in the app for a project I want to create, I move from guided mode into standard mode and I uncheck all of these except for the progress messages. I do like the progress messages in case something gets hung up, but you'll want to look at all these and try them out. And when you first start, because there's so much here, You probably just want to do it like this in guided mode with all of these speech presentations checked. I'm just going to hit right arrow. 11:59.768 --> 12:01.003 Formatting defaults tab selected. 12:01.292 --> 12:44.009 The formatting defaults are an interesting thing. When I was putting together Presentable, I did a lot of research because as a blind person, I don't really know what fonts are easy to see. And based on several hours of research and actually asking some sighted people, I came up with these As the app's default fonts. I don't mess with these. If you want to, you can. You also can change them by project or by slide within the app. But if you have a different, for whatever reason, a different set of default fonts you want, you can apply them here. If you play with this though, I just want to show you something. 12:44.618 --> 12:49.911 Cancel button closed. Save settings button. Save the pending. Restore standard formatting button. Load the standard formatting values into the default editor. 12:50.216 --> 13:30.654 So we have a restore. So if you mess with this and you're like, oh boy, I don't know why I did that, there is a way to go back to the default font settings that come with the app. Another really great feature that comes with Brian's products is the context-sensitive help. And I think this is a good place to demonstrate this. There's context-sensitive help with every control in the app. We're not going to demonstrate this a lot during this demo, but I think this is a good one to use to show. So I'm just going to hit Shift+F1 with my focus on this button. 13:30.654 --> 13:35.576 Shift+F1. Presentable settings dialog. Presentable control help dialog. Help text read-only edit. 13:35.576 --> 13:43.591 And I'm just going to down arrow through this for a little bit so you can get a sense of what the context-sensitive help in Presentable is like. 13:43.912 --> 13:59.819 Presentable settings formatting defaults. Blank replaces the pending personal formatting fields and settings with presentable standard defaults. Save settings keeps them as the defaults for future presentations. Cancel leaves the saved defaults unchanged. This does not restyle the currently open presentation or erase slide overrides. Use styles in the main workspace for changes to the current project. 14:00.107 --> 14:04.838 And that's basically what I already explained to you. I'm just going to hit Tab. 14:05.078 --> 14:06.842 Copy help button. Also copy the complete help. 14:07.066 --> 14:10.979 If for whatever reason you want to copy this and refer back to it, you can. 14:11.252 --> 14:14.624 Close button. Alt+C. But we're just going to close for now. Open space. Learning blind. 14:14.945 --> 14:16.759 And I'm going to tab back to the tabs. 14:17.177 --> 14:19.280 Save settings button. Cancel button. Formatting defaults tab. 14:19.521 --> 14:20.645 And I'm going to hit right arrow. 14:21.046 --> 14:22.379 Open AI preferences tab selected. 14:22.973 --> 15:32.450 This is here and it gives you a few controls about how the AI integration works with the app. And it's a good place for me to stop and say there are a lot of features that you can do with an API key from OpenAI. OpenAI is the only AI model we support in the app right now. I'm going to demonstrate some of this during this presentation, but you can totally create presentations and do all of that without an API key from OpenAI. This just gives you some really neat features if you're interested in doing those. The user guide has a lot of information about how you can find an API key, how you can put it in the app, all of that stuff. So if you want to do that, you can do that. If you have Lisi, another one of the Harchin Consultancy products, the app may already have your API key and you may be ready to go. But again, consult the user guide for all of that. I'm just gonna hit the right arrow. 15:32.450 --> 15:34.087 API connection tab selected. 15:34.087 --> 15:44.327 I'm not gonna go near this for this demonstration 'cause mine is working, but I just wanna show you that it's here. With all of this done, I'm gonna Shift+Tab. 15:44.327 --> 15:46.879 Cancel button. Close this dialog and discard its pending changes. 15:46.879 --> 15:55.722 And I'm just gonna cancel because I don't think I changed anything, but I like the settings the way they are for now, and I just wanna get outta here without doing any damage. 15:55.722 --> 15:59.927 Space. Learning Blind Tech Presentable. Add slide button. Control+Shift+N. Choose a layout and insert a 15:59.959 --> 16:35.811 new— Okay, we're back to where we were, and now I'm going to start creating a brief presentation to show off the basic features of how you create a presentation with Presentable. And what I want to say at the outset is, because my focus is showing you the app, this presentation that we're creating now is absolute nonsense. The slides will make no sense. They won't relate to each other. It's just to demonstrate the features of the app, and you'll see why I'm saying that as we work through this. So I'm going to hit spacebar. 16:36.197 --> 16:39.233 Space. Add slide dialog. Slide type list box. Title slide. 1 of 12. 16:39.972 --> 17:09.160 We have 12 slide layout types, and the layout types control what kinds of things you can put on a slide and what areas of the app will be made available to you. The title slide is our first choice, which makes sense because most of the time you're going to start your presentation with its title. I'm going to down arrow through these pretty quickly. I will stop on some of them and explain a little bit. 17:09.737 --> 17:10.795 Title and bullets, 2 of 12. 17:11.340 --> 17:16.294 Self-explanatory and the most common content slide you're probably going to use. 17:16.486 --> 17:19.371 Text only, 3 of 12. Image only, 4 of 12. 17:19.996 --> 18:14.960 Image only is an interesting one. Before Presentable, I used to use image only slides in PowerPoint a lot because I wanted to not worry about my text and image crowding each other out. With PresentABLE, I don't have that problem, but I will say that I left image only in here for a very specific reason. In doing more wonky research, I discovered that it's a good idea to do things like screenshots on their own slide or a slide where you want to make sure there's more detail shown. Don't take away the focus from your image with some text bullets. If you have an image that really is the dominant piece, use an image-only slide and put whatever you want to say about it in the speaker's notes for the slide. 18:16.180 --> 18:17.657 Image left, text right, 5 of 12. 18:18.026 --> 18:20.621 And these are all pretty self-explanatory. 18:20.621 --> 18:22.144 Text left, image right, 6 of 12. 18:22.144 --> 18:47.976 I will just briefly say one of the other things I learned in putting these together is if you pick image left, text right, or image right and text left, you should stick with it throughout the same presentation. Just be consistent. You can change from presentation to presentation, but you should probably be consistent within the same presentation for Visual impact. 18:48.410 --> 18:50.305 Large image left, short text right. 7 of 12. 18:50.305 --> 19:31.872 Large image left and small text right. Basically what this is doing is instead of giving you roughly 50% of the slide for your text and your image, it's giving you about 60% of the slide for your image and 40% for your text. So this is— I think of this as kind of like the middle ground between The image-only slide, which has no text, and the image left, text right slide that has both image and text. If you want to say 2 or 3 really quick bullets about the image, but the image is most of what you want people focusing on, pick this one. 19:32.145 --> 19:33.846 Short text left, large image right. 8 of 12. 19:34.151 --> 19:35.338 And again, just the reverse. 19:35.626 --> 19:36.429 Table 9 of 12. 19:37.054 --> 20:14.446 Tables are very accessible in Presentable, both creating them and navigating them. When you create them in the app, they do export and are perfectly accessible within PowerPoint. I will say that they're a little— I don't want to say difficult to use, but the whole idea of tables can sometimes be complicated, especially for people who can't see them. So if people are interested, we could probably do like a brief 15-minute episode and just focus on tables. So I'm not gonna focus on them at all today. I'm just doing this to show you what's here. 20:14.446 --> 20:15.956 Title of video, 10 of 12. 20:15.956 --> 20:22.044 We do support video in the app, and we will be demonstrating this today. 20:22.044 --> 20:26.044 Video left, text right, 11 of 12. Text left, video right, 12 of 12. 20:26.044 --> 21:01.805 And that's just the same thing. Which side do you want your video on, and which side do you want the text on? I would say, and this is just my personal view of it, Right now, it could change. But if I'm putting a video, I'm just going to use title and video because I want the video to be the dominant thing on the slide. But because people have different workflows, I have all of this here, and so you can use it if if it actually fits your workflow. For our purposes, though, I'm just going to go back to the top with Control Home. 21:01.998 --> 21:02.929 Title slide one of twelve. 21:03.186 --> 21:05.965 And I'm going to insert my title slide with spacebar. 21:05.965 --> 21:11.813 Space. Slide added. Learning Blind Tech Presentable. Slide title edit. Alt+L. Edit the selected slide's title. Escape returns to the slides list. 21:11.813 --> 21:18.480 And now I'm just going to add my title and sticking with what I said is my practice, I'm going to do Learning Blind Tech. 21:18.480 --> 21:19.589 Learning Blind Tech. 21:19.589 --> 21:24.199 And now I'm just going to tab through so you get a flavor of what's here. 21:24.199 --> 21:29.565 Layout combo box. Title slide. 1 of 12. Ctrl+Shift+L. Choose how the slide arranges its title text, images, and tables. 21:30.416 --> 22:19.705 As I said, the layout determines how the slide looks and what content pieces are available to you. This box here will allow you to change the layout if you want to. There's a keystroke to come back to it, Ctrl+Shift+L. JAWS told us this. There are features you can do, like for example, and I'm probably not going to demonstrate this today, but just so you know, if you have a text paragraph slide and you say, you know what, I want that to be a bulleted slide, You can change the layout from text to bullets, and then there are features in the app to convert the items in your content area between text and bullets. So you can change the layout and the items without having to delete things and start all over again. And I'm just going to tab. 22:19.866 --> 22:24.244 Content tab selected. Ctrl+Shift+J. Choose an available slide page with left or right arrow, then tab into its controls. 22:24.661 --> 22:34.392 And just to demonstrate this, I'm on the Content tab. This is the tab area for the slide that I have currently selected. I'm going to hit right arrow. 22:34.697 --> 22:36.657 Speaker Notes tab selected. Content Speaker Notes. 22:37.107 --> 22:41.701 So because this is a title slide, I have Speaker's Notes. 22:42.343 --> 22:43.243 Content tab selected. 22:43.372 --> 22:45.636 And Content. I'm going to tab so you see. 22:45.781 --> 22:51.227 Content Items list box, 0 items. Ctrl+Alt+1. Choose a content item with up or down arrow. Enter, edit it. Space marks items for group actions. 22:51.644 --> 23:03.268 And I just want to warn you of this. If you do this There's not the area on your title slide to do this. A title slide really should not have content. So I'm just going to tab. 23:03.364 --> 23:06.585 Add bullet button. Ctrl+Shift. Add text button. Ctrl+Shift+T. Write a new paragraph. 23:06.729 --> 23:15.654 And now I'm going to not go through these yet because I want to demonstrate them. So I'm going to insert a new slide. We have a keystroke for that called Ctrl+Shift+N. 23:16.103 --> 23:19.227 Ctrl+Shift+N. Add slide dialog. Slide title list box. Title slide. What? 23:19.612 --> 23:20.669 And I'm going to down arrow. 23:21.006 --> 23:22.111 Title and bullets. 2 of 12. 23:22.496 --> 23:25.128 And I want a title and bullet slide, so I'm going to hit Enter. 23:25.561 --> 23:30.230 Slide added. Learning blind tech presentable. Slide title edit. Hold L. Edit the selected slide's title. Escape returns to the slides list. 23:31.241 --> 23:39.810 Now I'm in the title field for the second slide, and so we can all follow this as I work along, I'm just going to call this bulleted slide. 23:40.323 --> 23:41.254 Slide. Bulleted slide. 23:42.329 --> 23:50.255 Okay, and now I'm going to hit Alt+Ctrl+1, which is a keystroke to jump me directly to the content area. 23:50.656 --> 23:56.825 Alt+Ctrl+1. Content items list box. 0 items. Ctrl+Alt+1. Choose a content item with up or down arrow. Enter. Edit. Space marks items for group actions. 23:56.825 --> 24:02.690 The keystroke here to add a bullet is Ctrl+Shift+B, so I'm going to do that. 24:02.690 --> 24:05.094 Ctrl+Shift+B. Add bullet dialog. Text. Text edit. 24:05.094 --> 24:07.418 And I'm going to type first bullet. 24:07.418 --> 24:10.446 F-I-R-S-T. First. B-U-L-L-E-T. 24:10.446 --> 24:12.209 Now I'm going to hit Tab. 24:12.209 --> 24:14.853 Bullet. Save button. Alt+S. Accept the text entered and add bullet. 24:14.853 --> 24:26.296 Now when I hit this spacebar and save this bullet. It's not saving the project. All it is is inserting the bullet into the presentation. 24:26.296 --> 24:31.633 Space. List content item added. Content items list box. Content items. 1 of 1. Control+Alt+1. Choose a— 24:31.633 --> 24:35.415 What if I didn't know the keystroke? I'm going to tab from here. 24:35.415 --> 24:39.005 Add bullet button. Control+Shift+E. Write a new bullet item for the selected slide. 24:39.005 --> 24:42.146 There's my add bullet button. So I'm going to hit spacebar. 24:42.146 --> 24:46.169 Space. Add bullet dialog. Text. Text edit. Alt+E. Write 1 bullet item, then choose save to add it. 24:46.746 --> 24:48.158 And I'm going to hit second bullet. 24:48.430 --> 24:50.868 S-E-C-O-N-D. Second bullet. 24:51.894 --> 24:54.861 And now I'm going to use the Alt+S shortcut key. 24:55.727 --> 25:00.747 Bullet content item added. Content items list box 2. Bullet. Second bullet. 2 of 2. Control+Alt+1. Choose a— And 25:00.940 --> 25:15.522 now I have 2 bullets in my slide. I want to add one more, but just to show the different functionality we've built into the app, this time I'm going to add my third bullet By using the context menu, so I'm going to hit Shift F10. 25:15.859 --> 25:17.801 Shift context menu, add bullet, Control Shift E, 25:18.123 --> 25:20.627 and add bullet right at the top. I'm going to hit Enter. 25:20.948 --> 25:26.456 Leaving menus, content items list box two, bullet, second bullet, two of two, add bullet dialog, text, text edit, Alt T, write one bullet. 25:27.274 --> 25:29.008 And now I'm just going to type third bullet. 25:29.057 --> 25:32.091 T H I R D, third, B U L L E, T. 25:32.396 --> 25:32.766 Alt S, 25:33.215 --> 25:39.011 bullet content item added, content items list box, content items three of three, Control Alt One, choose a content item with up or down arrow, enter edited. 25:39.156 --> 25:49.274 Now I have my three bullets. What if I don't like the order? What if I say, you know, this third bullet here really should be first? I'm going to tab. 25:49.482 --> 25:57.834 Add bullet button. Add text button. Control edit button. Alt E. Open the selected content items. Remove item button. Move up button. Control shift up arrow. Move marked content items or the current item within the slide text. 25:58.395 --> 25:59.549 And I'm going to hit the spacebar. 26:00.303 --> 26:04.166 Stay moved content item bullet. Third bullet above bullet. Second bullet. Now content item 2 of 3. 26:05.192 --> 26:11.660 And look at the feedback I get. Now I know that's now number 2. Now I'm going to hit the spacebar again to move it up. 26:11.660 --> 26:16.100 Space. Moved content item bullet. 3rd bullet above bullet. 1st bullet. Now content item 1 of 3. 26:16.100 --> 26:19.400 Now I'm going to Shift+Tab back to my content area. 26:19.400 --> 26:31.920 Remove item button. Edit button. Alt+D. Add text button.

Bullet. 2nd bullet. 3 of 3. 26:31.920 --> 26:45.765 And you see that my order is now changed. My 3rd bullet is first, which is what I wanted. What if I say, you know what? the second bullet to actually be second. I'm going to use the Ctrl+Shift+Up Arrow keystroke. 26:45.765 --> 26:50.253 Move content item bullet. Second bullet above bullet. First bullet. Now content item 2 of 3. 26:50.253 --> 27:32.455 And there we go. So I have completely rearranged the bullets in this content area. And this now, if, you know, I made this a presentation and left it like this, that's how they would display on this slide. I just wanted people to know that that same rule applies if you put in text paragraphs. If you have text paragraphs, You can change the order just like I did with the bullets. I'm not going to demonstrate it here, but you can also delete. If you say, oh, I don't want that bullet anymore, you can just delete it. Same thing is true with a text paragraph. Now I want to show the image stuff because I think that's what a lot of folks are interested in. So I'm going to hit Ctrl+Shift+N. 27:32.455 --> 27:34.827 Ctrl+Shift+N. Add slide dialog. Slide type. 27:34.827 --> 27:38.225 And now I'm in my add slide type list again. 27:38.225 --> 27:40.821 Text only. Image only. Image left. Text right. 5 of 12. 27:41.206 --> 27:49.391 For some reason, I decided I use image left and text right. I don't know why that is, but that's the one I use. So that's the one I'm going to use today. 27:49.904 --> 27:54.638 Slide added. Learning line text presentable. Slide title edit. Alt+L. Edit the selected slide's title. Escape returns to the slides list. 27:55.649 --> 27:59.003 And again, I'm going to put in my title. So I'm just going to call this 27:59.613 --> 28:00.094 image text. 28:00.544 --> 28:09.692 So that's my title, image text. And now I'm going to hit Alt+Ctrl+1 to go back to my Content area. 28:09.692 --> 28:16.130 Alt+Ctrl+1. Content items list box. 0 items. Ctrl+Alt+1. Choose a content item with up or down arrow. Enter.

Content item. 28:44.174 --> 28:49.318 Now I want to add my image. I'm going to hit Alt+Ctrl+2 to go to my image area. 28:49.318 --> 28:51.994 Alt+Ctrl+2. Images list box. 0 items. Ctrl+Alt+2. 28:51.994 --> 28:57.026 And obviously I don't have an image here yet, so it said 0 items. So I'm going to Tab. 28:57.026 --> 29:00.711 Add image button. Ctrl+Alt+I. Choose a local picture and review its properties before adding it. 29:01.498 --> 29:13.918 So you can create an image with OpenAI from within Presentable. I'm not going to go through that here, but you can. In this case, I'm just going to put in an image that I have on the computer. So I'm going to hit the spacebar. 29:14.208 --> 29:16.762 Space.

Alternative text explains the image to someone who cannot see it. 29:38.199 --> 30:09.735 Now up come the image's properties. You can do a lot of things in here. You can change the cropping, for example. All of that is explained in the user guide. It's way beyond the scope of this demo. But you do have to put in some alternative text, and I'm going to demonstrate that. I'm just going to type in yo-yo. Now this is deliberately bad alt text, and I'm going to show you why. But if you know what your alt text should be, you just put it in right here. Now, 30:10.024 --> 30:12.659 yo-yo decorative image checkbox not checked. Alt D mark only images. 30:13.061 --> 30:35.693 The only time I would ever use this is if somebody was paying me, required me to put a watermark or some kind of logo on a slide or in a presentation. And because that might happen to people, the decorative checkbox is here, and that of course will make the image decorative and will hide it from screen readers and assistive technology. I'm going to hit Tab. 30:35.853 --> 30:38.899 Save Changes button. Alt+S. Apply the pending description. Crop and source changes. 30:39.284 --> 30:45.535 And I'm going to apply the changes that I made. In this case, it was adding my simplified alt text. 30:45.808 --> 30:48.694 Space.

Alt text present. 1 of 1. 31:06.765 --> 31:15.251 OK. And I have an image. My alt text is present. But now that was deliberately bad alt text. So I'm gonna tab through here. 31:15.251 --> 31:23.430 Add image button. Control properties button. Control remove image button. Remove described image with OpenAI button. Control Alt Shift D. Ask OpenAI to propose alternative text for the selected image. Then review and edit it. 31:23.430 --> 31:34.919 There you go. So I'm gonna hit spacebar on this and have OpenAI through the use of my API key help me create alternative text for this image of Yo-Yo. 31:34.919 --> 31:39.097 Space. Image description emphasis dialog. Optional emphasis. Optional emphasis edit. Alt D. Optional. 31:39.386 --> 31:49.438 You can use emphasis that always comes with every description or not. That's something you can set in the Preferences pane. I'm just going to tab. 31:49.662 --> 31:57.803 Save button. Alt+S. Accept the text. Enter an image description emphasis. Space. Learning Blind Tech. Presentable. Describe image with OpenAI button. Review page. OpenAI request dialog. Request details. Read-only. Yes. 31:58.269 --> 32:12.730 Now you can turn this off in the OpenAI Preferences. I left it on because it's the default. So now every time I want to submit a request to OpenAI, I'm asked to check a box to see if I really want to approve it. 32:12.960 --> 32:19.020 I approve this paid request checkbox not checked. Alt+A. Check this only after reviewing the request. It enables submit request without sending yet. Space.

Describe what this image contributes to the slide for someone who cannot see it. 32:37.329 --> 32:44.050 Sometimes I've found that when this opens, the focus goes to the bottom, so I'm just going to hit Ctrl+Home to make sure I'm at the top. 32:44.050 --> 32:48.702 Top. Close-up of a tabby cat's face with large yellow eyes, prominent whiskers, and striped fur lying on the green fabric. 32:48.702 --> 33:01.293 In this case, the green fabric is actually a shirt of mine, but that's obviously vastly superior to my alt text of yo-yo, so I'm going to hit Tab. 33:01.293 --> 33:06.392 Save button. Alt+S. Accept the text entered and review proposed alternative text. Space. Alternative text updated. 33:06.392 --> 33:08.908 And now I should have my alt text in here. 33:08.908 --> 33:12.353 Remove image button. Remove properties button. Ctrl+Alt+C.

Choose automatic playback or playback on the next presentation step. 35:46.192 --> 35:55.165 This is interesting. This gives you 2 choices.

This is a choice that obviously will probably depend on what you're doing and why you're doing it. 36:05.471 --> 36:07.282 On the next presentation step. 1 of 2. 36:07.282 --> 36:11.914 And I'm just gonna leave that there for now.

My mom is videoing and making a lot of noise. 37:07.313 --> 37:16.263 Over here. There it is. No, no, no! 37:18.108 --> 37:22.833 And as you could hear, Desiree and I lost, and Barb and Nikki won. 37:23.285 --> 37:24.576 Womp womp. 37:25.237 --> 37:26.577 Now I'm gonna keep tabbing. 37:26.916 --> 37:33.316 Pause button, Alt+U.

Focuses and recordings. List box. Learning blind tech presentable. 37:55.875 --> 38:00.034 There we go. Now, because this is a pretty important step, I'm just going to save again. 38:00.388 --> 38:00.934 Project saved. 38:01.431 --> 38:06.377 And there we go. That's how you can work with video, adding a video to your presentation. 38:06.730 --> 38:07.260 Super cool. 38:07.694 --> 38:12.479 It is super cool. I've never done that until I started playing with the app. 38:12.977 --> 38:13.298 Yeah. 38:13.298 --> 38:19.283 And to give him his due, this was a feature Brian thought we should have. And so he added it in. 38:19.283 --> 38:31.832 And you can add audio too. So if you ever wanted to just record something just to say, if you're in a presentation and you want it to be, hey, I might forget what I'm going to say and I just want to play this bit here, you can do that. 38:31.832 --> 38:35.026 Or if it's like a demo of JAWS or something. 38:35.026 --> 38:38.604 Or a part of learning blind tech. You could play it in your presentation. 38:38.604 --> 38:54.845 You absolutely could. Yeah, you can add audio, exclusively audio, or you can add video files to the presentation just like that. Another thing that I want to talk about is this whole idea of speaker's notes. So to do that, I'm going to create a new slide. 38:54.941 --> 38:57.188 Ctrl+Shift+N, add slide dialog, slide type list. 38:57.445 --> 38:59.820 And I want a title and bullet slide. 39:00.013 --> 39:03.880 Table, 9 of 12, short text, large text, image, image only, text only, title and bullets, 2 of 12. 39:04.426 --> 39:06.143 And I'm going to hit Enter to insert this. 39:06.448 --> 39:08.855 Slide added, learning line text presentable, slide title edit, hotel. 39:08.984 --> 39:12.045 And now I'm just going to add in notes. 39:12.045 --> 39:13.455 Notes. Notes. 39:13.455 --> 39:20.136 We're not being fancy here. And I'm going to hit Alt+Ctrl+1 to get back to my content area. 39:20.136 --> 39:23.501 Alt+Ctrl+1. Content items list box. 0 items. Ctrl+Alt+1. 39:23.501 --> 39:28.163 And now I'm going to add my first bullet with Ctrl+Shift+B. 39:28.163 --> 39:29.509 Ctrl+Shift+B. Add bullet. 39:29.509 --> 39:31.656 And I'm going to type born blind. 39:31.656 --> 39:35.998 B-O-R-N. Born. B-L-I-N-D. Blind. Born blind. 39:35.998 --> 39:37.873 And I'm going to save it with Alt+S. 39:38.620 --> 39:40.450 Alt+S, content item added. Content. 39:40.450 --> 39:42.390 And I'm going to add another bullet. 39:42.390 --> 39:44.710 Ctrl+Shift+B, add bullet dialog. 39:44.710 --> 39:47.380 And I'm going to add wife and 3 stepdaughters. 39:47.380 --> 39:50.770 Wife and 3 stepdaughters. Save button. Alt+S, accept space. List content item added. And 39:50.770 --> 39:55.080 I've saved it. And I want one more. So I'm going to hit Ctrl+Shift+B again. 39:55.080 --> 39:57.110 Ctrl+Shift+B, add bullet dialog. 39:57.110 --> 39:59.730 And now I'm going to type dog and 2 cats. 39:59.730 --> 40:00.740 Dog and 2 cats. 40:00.740 --> 40:02.650 And I'm going to save it. 40:02.650 --> 40:06.490 Save button. Alt+Space. List content item added. Content items list box. Content items, 3 of 3. 40:07.039 --> 40:27.449 Okay, now I have my 3 bullets. And one of the longstanding issues with those of us who are blind who have been doing presentations on a somewhat regular basis is how do we link our speaker's notes to the bullets they apply to, to give a presentation that's more natural and flowing? 40:28.107 --> 40:30.096 We copy them in the speaker notes. 40:30.514 --> 40:55.548 And people have devised all kinds of workarounds. That's one of them. But now, because of what we've done with Presentable, and those of you who are on Mastodon may know this was kind of a hot-button topic this week for a little while, you can actually link your speaker's notes to the bullet they apply to. So I'm just going to go up one. 40:55.984 --> 40:57.937 2. Bullet. Wife with 3 stepdaughters. 2 of 3. 40:58.663 --> 41:04.566 And now I want to link a speaker's note passage to this. I'm going to open my context menu with Shift+F10. 41:05.950 --> 41:08.040 Shift. Context menu. Add bullet. Control+Shift. 41:08.040 --> 41:10.340 I'm going to down arrow through my menu items. 41:10.340 --> 41:13.120 Add text. Add link. Edit item. Enter. Speaker notes for this item. 41:13.120 --> 41:14.610 And I'm going to hit Enter. 41:14.610 --> 41:25.680 Leaving menus. Content items list box. 2. Bullet. Wifin' 3 stepdaughters. 2 of 3. Speaker notes for this item dialog. Content item. Wifin' 3 stepdaughters. Item. Speaker notes. Item. Speaker notes edit. Write notes for this item. Tab to save and press Enter or Space when finished. 41:25.680 --> 41:30.280 For this bullet, I want the related text to be— 41:30.280 --> 41:34.020 Top. The oldest is a college graduate. The youngest 2 live with us. We have a high school freshman and a 7th grader. 41:34.969 --> 41:37.597 So that's what I want to be linked. Now I'm going to hit Tab. 41:38.077 --> 41:40.930 Move the General Notes button. Move these notes to the General Speaker Notes for this slide. 41:41.266 --> 42:10.733 Now, if you change your mind and you're like, you know what, I really don't want these to be linked, I just want them in the footnotes, you can use this button here and the bullet text and these speaker's notes will be together in your speaker's notes, but they won't be linked. And the difference does matter. And we're going to go into this extensively in the next demo we do where we cover how to use Presentable to prepare to present. 42:11.149 --> 42:11.534 Save button. 42:12.431 --> 42:14.098 For now, I just want to save this. 42:14.786 --> 42:21.196 Space. List items. Speaker notes saved. Content items list box. Content items 2 of 3. Control Alt 1. 3. Bullet. Dog and 2 cats. 3 of 3. 42:21.740 --> 42:32.723 So I want to put some related text for dog and 2 cats. So I'm going to hit Shift+F10 to get into my context menu again and again. You can tab to the button if you want to. 42:33.430 --> 42:36.900 Shift context menu, add bullet, add tag, add link, edit item, enter speaker notes for this item. 42:37.221 --> 42:38.088 And I'm going to hit Enter. 42:38.201 --> 42:41.558 Leaving menus, content items list box 3, bullet, dog and 2 cats, 3 of 3. 42:41.783 --> 42:49.862 And now I'm just going to put in what I want to be the related speaker note to this particular bullet in my presentation. 42:50.457 --> 42:52.079 Top, the dog is as a raised guide dog, Briar. 42:52.641 --> 42:56.978 There we go. That's what I want. And now I want to save this. So I'm going to tab. 42:57.058 --> 42:57.749 Move to general notes button. 42:58.006 --> 42:58.872 And I'm going to tab again. 42:58.872 --> 42:59.578 Save button. 42:59.578 --> 43:01.359 And I'm going to save this. Space. 43:01.471 --> 43:04.632 List items. Speaker notes saved. Content items list box. Content items. 3 of 3. 43:04.632 --> 43:07.793 And just to keep good habits, I'm going to save my project. 43:07.793 --> 43:08.386 Project saved. 43:08.386 --> 43:27.758 And now I'm going to deviate just a bit, and I'm not going to talk about how I did this at all because it goes much more into developing your actual presentation, and we're going to cover this next time. But I just want to show you so So everything's clean on this presentation that it actually does work. 43:28.128 --> 43:29.639 Speaker's notes: MD Lisi Word edit. 43:30.024 --> 43:57.782 I'm in a purely text file in an application called Lisi Word. In case you can't tell, I love Lisi. And all this is is text that I took from Presentable that it helped me create. And again, we'll talk about this next time. And I put it in here so I could show you what. It created for me with regards to the slide we just made with the speaker's notes linked to their relative bullets. 43:58.279 --> 44:00.298 Slide 1. Title, First Notes Example. 44:00.698 --> 44:07.813 Now this is junk because this slide is in a totally different presentation, but the text is the same. 44:08.695 --> 44:09.480 Layout, Title and Bullets. 44:09.912 --> 44:12.605 And again, Title and Bullets is telling me what I did. 44:12.877 --> 44:15.249 Land. Slide text. 1. Board lines. 44:16.162 --> 44:19.609 And you'll remember that was my first bullet, born blind. 44:19.929 --> 44:21.148 2. Wife and 3 stepdaughters. 44:21.693 --> 44:29.067 There was no speaker's notes linked to that one because it's pretty self-explanatory. I didn't give it any. Now I'm going to down arrow. 44:29.228 --> 44:34.758 Blank. Speaker notes. The oldest is a college graduate. The youngest 2 live with us. We have a high school freshman and a 7th grader. 44:35.319 --> 44:39.728 They're linked in my document now. I'm going to down arrow. 44:39.872 --> 44:41.379 Blank. 3. A dog and 2 cats. 44:41.961 --> 44:42.562 And down arrow. 44:42.610 --> 44:45.222 Blank speaker notes. The dog is as a raised guide dog. Briar. 44:45.936 --> 44:46.358 They're linked. 44:46.439 --> 44:46.812 Nice. 44:47.071 --> 45:03.690 So when I take the, the presentation creation features, when I give the presentation, the speaker's notes are now directly under the bullet they relate to. And this is truly going to change the way I personally give presentations. 45:03.836 --> 45:19.581 Yeah, yeah, me too. You used to just read the bullets separate. I did. I would try to incorporate my bullets, but sometimes I'm like, oh, did I forget that bullet or that? Because I don't want to go back and forth. So this definitely is huge. 45:19.581 --> 46:15.621 It's huge. And the final substantive things I want to show are about warnings and errors and all the things that help us as blind people make sure that our presentations will visually work to the largely sighted world. To do this, I'm also going to show the reusable slides feature. I created earlier this morning a couple of slides that have warnings, and one is a train wreck. We'll get to that. But this one, the first one, has a text error warning. The reason it does is to give people like me who tend to be wordy an idea of what they're doing. When you're using about 90% of your text area, you'll get a warning. And I'm gonna show that here. So I'm gonna go to reusable slides. 46:15.621 --> 46:19.549 Menu bar. Edit. Slide. Add slide. Add same. Insert reusable slide. 46:19.549 --> 46:21.809 This is what I wanna do. So I'm gonna hit Enter. 46:21.809 --> 46:22.819 Leaving menus. 46:22.819 --> 46:24.358 And I think this one is called— 46:24.358 --> 46:26.089 W. Warning text. 8 of 9. 46:26.089 --> 46:30.770 Warning text. I was right. So I'm gonna hit Enter to insert this slide. 46:30.770 --> 46:40.035 Enter. List reusable slide inserted. Warning text. Slide 6 of 6. Focus is in slides. Slides list box. Slides. 6 of 6. Control L. Choose a slide with up or down arrow. Enter. Edits its title. Space marks it for group actions. 46:40.035 --> 46:49.628 Now focus nicely returned me to the slide list with this in focus. But I want to show you something, so I'm just going to quickly up arrow. 46:49.628 --> 46:50.094 5. 46:50.094 --> 46:52.821 Hit Ctrl and down arrow back to this. 46:52.821 --> 46:55.789 6. Warning text, title and bullets. 1 warning, 6 of 6. 46:55.789 --> 47:11.464 Okay, did you hear JAWS say 1 warning? So it is telling me in real time, Jonathan, there could be an issue with this slide. So I want to inspect this. I'm going to hit Alt+Ctrl+Shift+I. W. 47:12.042 --> 47:15.797 All checks finished. 1 outstanding result. 0 reviewed. Severity combo box. All. 1 result. 47:15.797 --> 47:40.850 There are a lot of things in here, and focus lands on a filter combo box. In here, you can up and down arrow through these choices if you want to filter. I only want to see errors. I only want to see warnings. I only want to see suggestions, or I want to see things marked as reviewed. So I'm just going to hit Tab. And I'm just leaving it on All because there's only one thing with this slide. 47:40.850 --> 47:47.141 Results list box. Warning. Slide 6. Estimated text close to the right edge. 1 of 1. Choose a check result. Can use details. Go to item repair options. 47:47.141 --> 47:52.309 So there's a lot there, but here I have, I have an issue. So I'm just going to hit Tab. 47:52.309 --> 47:55.647 Details button. Alt+E. Read the selected results explanation and suggested next step. 47:55.647 --> 48:02.436 And if I wanted to, I could hit Space and get more details about, in this case, the warning I'm talking about. 48:02.436 --> 48:15.710 Space. Result details dialog. Report read-only edit. Read this report using normal text navigation. Content items, 4. At least one estimated line uses 90% or more of the available width. This is a prompt to review the text, not proof that it is cut off. Shorten the line, use a wider text layout, or confirm it's fit width. Export and analyze. 48:15.710 --> 48:18.600 And now I just want to close this. I'm going to tab. 48:18.600 --> 48:19.900 Copy report button. Alt+Close button. 48:19.900 --> 48:25.130 And again, you— if you want to, you can copy the report to your clipboard, but I'm just going to close the details. 48:25.130 --> 48:29.340 Space. Learning Blind Tech Presentable details button. Alt+E. Go to item button. F8. 48:29.340 --> 48:37.095 And this will take me directly to the content that has the warning associated with it. I'm going to hit space. 48:37.095 --> 48:48.021 Space. Slides list box 6. Warning text. Title and bullets. 1 warning. 6 of 6. Content items list box 4. Bullet. Here's a bullet that will certainly result in the app giving me a warning. It will. 404. Control Alt 1. Choose a content item with a— 48:48.021 --> 48:57.951 So I've made a mess of that deliberately to make this warning. So I want to edit this bullet because I don't want to keep the warning. So I'm going to hit Alt E. 48:58.433 --> 49:00.617 Alt+E. Edit bullet dialog. Text. Text edit. Here's a bullet. 49:00.617 --> 49:03.042 And I'm just going to delete all this. Ctrl+A. 49:03.042 --> 49:03.942 Selected. Here's— 49:03.942 --> 49:04.857 And delete. 49:04.857 --> 49:05.275 Blank. 49:05.275 --> 49:08.471 And just for the purposes of this, I'm just going to type bullet. 49:08.471 --> 49:09.916 B-U-L-L-E-T. 49:09.916 --> 49:12.133 I'm going to tab to my save button. 49:12.133 --> 49:13.530 Bullet. Save button. Alt+S. 49:13.627 --> 49:14.462 Text edit. 49:14.574 --> 49:16.261 Full space. List content. Item updated. Content. 49:16.261 --> 49:22.701 Okay, now I've updated the bullet, and certainly now this will not have any warning. I'm going to hit Ctrl+L. 49:22.701 --> 49:25.479 Ctrl+L. Slides list box. 6. Warning text title. 49:25.479 --> 49:36.237 And I stopped the speech deliberately because I'm back on the slides list. Focus returned to the 6th slide, which is where I was. I'm going to hit up arrow really quick and then down arrow. 49:36.237 --> 49:38.999 5, 6. Warning text title and bullets, 6 of 6. 49:38.999 --> 49:41.825 What did it not say that time? 49:41.825 --> 49:42.676 No warning. 49:42.676 --> 49:47.172 Didn't announce a warning, right? I fixed it. It's fixed. 49:47.172 --> 49:47.862 Nice. 49:47.862 --> 50:17.279 I no longer have a warning. Now I'm going to insert one more slide. This one was deliberately disastrous. It is doubtful that somebody creating a presentation will ever make a slide this inaccessible or bad. But I did this to show the depth and the capabilities of the reporting features we have in Presentable. So I'm going to go back to Insert Reusable Slide. 50:17.327 --> 50:19.975 Menu bar. Edit. Slide. Add. Insert Reusable Slide. 50:20.393 --> 50:20.842 And hit Enter. 50:20.842 --> 50:23.122 Leaving menus. Slides list box. 6. Warning text. 50:23.122 --> 50:33.653 And since a lot of our issues revolve around image and text, I have another image of Yo-Yo with a whole lot of nonsense for text. And so I'm going to hit D. 50:33.653 --> 50:35.339 D. Describing Yo-Yo. 3 of 9. 50:35.339 --> 50:37.298 And I'm going to insert this slide. 50:37.298 --> 50:43.238 Enter. List reusable slide inserted. Describing Yo-Yo. Slide 7 of 7. Focus is in slides. Slides list box. Slides. 7 of 7. 50:43.238 --> 50:45.758 And I'm just going to do my quick up and down arrow. 50:45.758 --> 50:49.612 6. 7. Describing yo-yo. Image left. Text right. 3 warnings. 7 of 7. 50:49.612 --> 50:55.716 Oh boy, I have 3 warnings. So I'm going to hit Ctrl+Shift+W. 50:55.716 --> 50:59.667 All checks finished. 3 outstanding results. 0 reviews. Severity combo box. All. 3. 50:59.667 --> 51:02.623 And I'm just going to leave the filter on all and tab. 51:02.623 --> 51:08.742 Results list box. Warning. Slide 7. Estimated content crowding. 1 of 3. Choose a check result. Then use details. Go to item repair options. 51:08.742 --> 51:11.585 So I have a content crowding warning. 51:11.585 --> 51:17.655 Warning. Slide 7. Estimated text close to the right edge, 2 of 3. Warning, slide 7, bullet 2 is long for a slide, 3 of 3. 51:17.655 --> 51:57.283 So there's 3 different kinds of warnings it can give you. Now, there are a lot of things that we could do from here. I could go to the individual items and try to repair them like I did on the previous slide and all that. But in this case, I want to show you a feature that I really love and use a lot, and it's called Review Slide. What this does is it will send this slide and only this slide to OpenAI and ask it for a whole lot of detail. It will also provide OpenAI details about the slide. You'll see all this in the report. The keystroke for this is Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Y. 51:58.533 --> 52:06.260 Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Y. Presentable working dialog. Rendering and measuring the selected slide locally. Please wait. The result will open when the operation finishes. Left-right scroll bar. List box. Learning blind tech. Presentable. 52:06.324 --> 52:12.257 And now I'm going to down arrow through the report on this slide that OpenAI Source 52:12.257 --> 52:25.043 presentation, 5 content items, all are listed below. PowerPoint found 1 measured error. This slide has not passed its layout checks. An AI opinion cannot clear these findings. PowerPoint rendered measurements. 1 error, 0 warnings, 0 suggestions, 1 information results. 52:25.043 --> 53:14.370 So PowerPoint actually found an error with this slide, and this gives me a good chance to explain that the errors and warnings that we get from within the Presentable app. They're really accurate. They're really good. I love them. They can't be as accurate as exporting and analyzing to PowerPoint for a very simple reason. They don't have the geometry and the stuff available to PowerPoint that PowerPoint does. They're not looking at configured slides. They're guessing based on fonts and slide layouts and all kinds of things. But they're, I think, pretty darn accurate. And I'm just going to arrow through a lot more of this just to show you the kind of detail you can get and the kind of help you can get. 53:14.370 --> 53:22.610 Blank. Information. Slide 7. Title fits. Rendered text 338.4 by 43.2 points. Available 828.0 by 50.0 points. 53:22.610 --> 53:24.830 So my title fits. That was on purpose. 53:24.910 --> 53:32.630 Blank. Error. Slide 7. Content overflow. Rendered text 380.4 by 468.8 points. Available 416.0 by 324.0 points. Text exceeds the available space. 53:35.345 --> 53:39.247 By a lot. I'm gonna keep going. 53:39.247 --> 53:47.004 Item 1, 2 lines, 342.0 by 75.2 points. Item 2, 4 lines, 372.3 by 142.4 points. 53:47.004 --> 54:09.441 And one thing I want to point out as we go through this, it is telling me stuff that I never knew when I did this in PowerPoint. It's telling me, Jonathan, this one bullet is on 4 different slide lines. Right? If you navigate the bullet with JAWS, JAWS in PowerPoint just reads the whole bullet like it's a bullet, right? 54:09.441 --> 54:09.650 Yeah. 54:09.650 --> 54:11.931 You don't know how many lines that is. 54:11.931 --> 54:32.437 Item 3, 2 lines, 361.8 by 75.2 points. Item 4, 3 lines, 380.4 by 108.8 points. Item 5, 2 lines, 351.0 by 67.2 points. Blank. Structural checks and estimated layout warnings. Blank. These are local checks and estimates. Fresh PowerPoint measurements for this slide are listed above. 0 errors, 3 warnings, 0 suggestions, 0 information results. 54:32.437 --> 54:38.304 And now it's taking us through what the local checker found, the local in-app checker. 54:38.304 --> 54:43.000 Warning, slide 7. Estimated content crowding. Text needs approximately 4em spacing. Shorten text or— 54:43.000 --> 54:45.693 I'm now going to pick up speed because there's just a lot here. 54:45.693 --> 55:03.581 Warning, slide 7. Estimated text close to the right edge. Content items 2, 3, 4. At least one estimated line uses 90% or more. That is cut off. Shorten the line. Use a wider text layout or confirm it's fit. Warning, slide 7. Bullet 2 is long for a slide. 15 words approximate content. A long item can fit on the slide and still be difficult to follow. Blank. Item by item visual review. 55:04.417 --> 55:18.813 Here's the really cool part. All of that stuff is interesting, and I, I'm glad it's there, but here's the part where we can use OpenAI to substitute for a sighted person's review of this disaster. 55:18.974 --> 55:53.334 Blank. OpenAI supplied an assessment for every listed item. Coverage does not prove those assessments are correct. Lang. Title. Source text: Describing Yo-Yo. AI visibility: Complete and visible. AI observation: The title describing Yo-Yo is fully visible and fits well at the top left. Lang. Bullet 1. Source text: Yo-Yo is 5 or 6 years old. PowerPoint position: Inside the slide. This does not prove the text is readable. AI visibility: Complete and visible. AI observation: Bullet 1, Yo-Yo is 5 or 6 years old, apostrophe is fully visible and well positioned with no clipping. Lang. Bullet 2. Source text: We don't really know how old he is because we adopted him from a shelter. PowerPoint position: Inside the slide. This does not prove the text is readable. AI visibility complete and visible. 55:53.334 --> 55:55.886 So, so far we're hanging in there. 55:55.886 --> 56:01.309 AI observation. Bullet 2, we don't really know how old he is because we adopted him from a shelter, apostrophe, is fully visible but very close to the right. 56:01.309 --> 56:04.198 So we're getting closer, we're having some trouble. 56:04.198 --> 56:36.702 Edge text lines use around 90% or more of the available width. Blank. Bullet 3. Source text, he was a day from being euthanized. PowerPoint position, inside the slide. This does not prove the text. AI visibility complete and visible. AI observation. Bullet 3, he was a day from being euthanized, apostrophe, is fully visible but also close to the right edge with long lines. Blank. Bullet 4. Source text: We got him because I missed my former cat, Mr. Rogers. PowerPoint position: Part of this item extends outside the slide and is clipped. AI visibility: Partly visible or clipped. AI observation: Bullet 4. We got him because I missed my former cat, Mr. Rogers. Apostrophe is partly clipped at the bottom right. The last few words are cut off and unreadable. 56:36.702 --> 56:38.419 No Mr. Rogers in that one. 56:38.419 --> 56:45.574 So we're losing text. All right. We're losing text. That's what it's telling me. And here's the, here's the big one though. 56:45.574 --> 56:51.355 Bullet 5. Source text, he has become my little buddy. PowerPoint position, this item is outside the slide and cannot appear in the picture. 56:51.355 --> 56:54.583 So this slide is such a train wreck. 56:54.583 --> 56:55.354 No little buddy. 56:55.354 --> 57:15.170 That if you exported this to PowerPoint, you would get— this wouldn't even be on the slide. This entire 5th bullet wouldn't be on the slide. And the AI is good enough at this to be able to actually tell you stuff that wouldn't be seen on the slide. 57:15.170 --> 57:17.800 AI visibility, not visible. 57:17.800 --> 57:22.140 And you know, you could be presenting about it and you're talking through it and it's not there. And it's not there. 57:22.140 --> 57:23.800 And it's not even there and you don't know it. And it's not there, 57:23.800 --> 57:24.060 yeah. 57:24.060 --> 57:28.689 AI observation, bullet 5B has become my little buddy. Apostrophe is positioned fully outside the slide area and is not visible. 57:28.689 --> 57:31.120 Not a speck of it is on the slide. 57:31.120 --> 57:39.980 Blank. Image 1. AI visibility, complete and visible. AI observation, the image of the cat is fully visible on the left side, clear and well-framed with good effective resolution around 256 PPI. 57:40.356 --> 57:42.089 Well, you can see him. Great. That's good. 57:42.538 --> 57:48.683 We've probably done enough with this, but it really does show you how much detail can be provided. 57:49.036 --> 57:51.218 Copy report button. Close button. Alt C space list box alert. 57:51.363 --> 58:01.727 And honestly, what that tells you in a nutshell is this slide probably can't be rehabilitated. If you did anything like this, you should delete this and start again. 58:02.979 --> 58:07.744 Well, you can split it up and and you can have a video now of your little buddy. 58:08.273 --> 58:08.578 I could. 58:08.674 --> 58:12.479 Buying your shirt. And in real time and just play that while you're talking about it. 58:12.479 --> 58:26.417 And we do have the ability in the app to split slides if you want to do that. Nice. The only 2 things I want to show left are I just want to quickly go through the tabs. So I'm in the slide list now. I'm going to hit Shift+Tab. 58:26.417 --> 58:28.103 Presentation name edit. Slides tab. 58:28.103 --> 58:31.572 Now we're on the Slides tab and I'm going to hit my left arrow. 58:31.572 --> 58:32.712 Import tab selected. 58:32.712 --> 58:38.910 So here's our Import tab where we could bring in our Word files and our Markdown files and that kind of thing. 58:38.910 --> 58:39.825 Slides tab selected. 58:40.387 --> 58:53.885 This is the tab where we do most of our work. This is where the slides list go. This is where you create, edit, insert, all of those things with your slides. The second tab is really where you're going to be almost all the time. 58:54.125 --> 58:54.976 Styles tab selected. 58:55.506 --> 59:05.665 If you want to mess with the styles of a particular presentation, you can do that. There's a fully accessible and usable and really in-depth Styles tab here. 59:06.227 --> 59:07.141 Reading order tab selected. 59:07.141 --> 59:27.400 Reading order, for people who don't know, if you want to change the way assistive technology presents the information on a slide without changing the slide's visual layout, you can definitely do that by using the reading order tab, and that may be a feature we cover in a future and shorter demo. 59:27.400 --> 59:28.716 Results tab selected. 59:28.716 --> 01:00:09.780 And this 5th and final tab is the results tab. It's where I went when I did my Alt+Ctrl+Shift+W to look at my warnings. It's where all the reports go when they're generated. That's what all happens in this 5th tab. And now just as a final thing, I'm going to export this PowerPoint. If I wanted to get a report on what PowerPoint thought of this presentation, I would do what's called Export and Analyze. But since we know this presentation is a mess, I'm not going to bother with that here. I'm just going to export this to show that it will create the PowerPoint. So I'm going to hit Alt+F for my File menu. 01:00:09.780 --> 01:00:10.710 Alt+F menu bar. 01:00:10.710 --> 01:00:12.240 File. I'm going to down arrow. 01:00:12.240 --> 01:00:22.310 New presentation. Open project. New from template. Recent project. Save. Control+S. Save as. Save project. Import. Import Markdown. Import Word. Import PowerPoint. Preview slides. Restore project. Compare project. Close project. Export PowerPoint. Control+Shift+E. 01:00:22.310 --> 01:00:26.390 Okay, so Control+Shift+E would have taken me there, and I'm just going to hit Enter. 01:00:26.390 --> 01:00:32.010 Leaving menus. Results tab selected. Review before export dialog. Report read-only. Edit. Read this report using normal text navigation. 01:00:32.030 --> 01:00:35.350 This just gives me a report if I want to review it. 01:00:35.350 --> 01:00:37.240 Copy report button. Continue with these issues button. 01:00:37.290 --> 01:00:44.440 And this is showing me what the app thinks the issues are. We know there's a lot of them in this case. I'm just going to skip it. 01:00:44.670 --> 01:00:50.850 Space. Tab. Learning Blind Tech presentable results tab selected. Export PowerPoint dialog. File name. Edit combo. Learning Blind Tech. PPTX. Learning Blind Tech. 01:00:50.850 --> 01:01:00.470 It has the file name. It's just copying the project's file name. And because I set it up in the preferences, it knows where I want to save it. So I'm just going to hit Enter. 01:01:00.570 --> 01:01:02.190 Enter. Tab. Learning Blind Tech PowerPoint file saved. Tab. Learning Blind Tech presentable results tab selected. 01:01:03.774 --> 01:01:10.442 Now it said saved. We have a keystroke, Alt+Ctrl+O, that will open this PowerPoint from directly in the app. 01:01:10.844 --> 01:01:16.725 Alt+Ctrl+O. Opening PowerPoint. Opening PowerPoint. Learning Line Tech. PPTX PowerPoint workspace. Slide. Slide 1. Learning Line Tech. 01:01:17.416 --> 01:01:25.851 And now for a few seconds, we can all be reminded of how much we hate PowerPoint. I don't even know where my focus is in here. So 01:01:26.044 --> 01:01:27.153 slideshow view all the way. 01:01:27.619 --> 01:01:34.334 I'm gonna hit Actually, that's not a bad idea. Maybe we'll just do that. I'm gonna hit F5. 01:01:34.560 --> 01:01:37.745 F5. PowerPoint slideshow learning slide. 01:01:37.971 --> 01:01:38.521 And here we go. 01:01:38.844 --> 01:01:39.363 Learning blind tech. 01:01:39.526 --> 01:01:44.774 Okay, that's my first, my first slide, my title slide. I'm gonna advance it with spacebar. 01:01:45.510 --> 01:01:45.880 Bulleted slide. 01:01:46.186 --> 01:01:46.427 Yep. 01:01:46.750 --> 01:01:50.212 List of 3 items. Bullet third bullet. Bullet second bullet. Bullet first bullet. 01:01:50.357 --> 01:02:00.325 And you can see here that it, it did create a PowerPoint presentation with the bullets in the weird order, the reverse, with 1 and 3 being reversed. I'm going to hit space. 01:02:01.575 --> 01:02:09.414 Slide 3. Image, text, image, text. List of 2 items. Bullet. Yo-Yo is my cat. Bullet. Loves to give me clawings. List end. Close-up of a tabby cat's face with large yellow eyes, prominent whiskers, and striped fur lying on the green fact sheet. 01:02:09.590 --> 01:02:22.895 And there's our slide. I don't think we have to waste much more time with this. It was just to show people that it's here, that it does work. It will put out exactly what you put into Presentable will be regurgitated into this PowerPoint. 01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:25.797 So if it's accessible, you'll have an accessible PowerPoint. 01:02:26.005 --> 01:02:35.321 You will. And we know this presentation is deliberately not accessible, so I'm not I'm not going to go any further with this. Thank you for giving me the time. 01:02:35.321 --> 01:02:47.648 Absolutely. And we'll come back because I want to talk about rehearsal mode and all of the other great things up and coming that are there and that will be coming up sometime. So this is definitely just the beginning of the fun. 01:02:47.648 --> 01:02:48.692 No question. 01:02:48.692 --> 01:02:51.449 Thank you so much for showing us all of this stuff. 01:02:51.449 --> 01:02:51.904 Bye. 01:02:51.904 --> 01:03:06.619 Bye. High schools, we're seeing hearts beating and believing. Together we're achieving, no hurdles deceiving. Tizz arrays reading all the knowledge we're feeding. Laughing while we're reading, this tech quest succeeding.
