Whether it’s your own presentation or one shared by a colleague, you may want to summarize a slideshow to get the key points. You might need a summary slide in the presentation itself, description for a post, or snippet for an intranet that briefly explains the content.
Rather than walk through each slide, take notes, and create the summary on your own, why not use the power of artificial intelligence to do it for you? Here are the best AI slideshow summarizers for your presentation.
