Presentations: Presenting & Rehearsal

The default full-screen mode. Click Present in the toolbar (or press F5) to enter.

• Navigate with arrow keys, spacebar, or swipe (touch devices).
• Slide transitions play automatically based on per-slide settings.
• Press Esc to exit.
• Slide number indicator in the bottom corner.

A dual-screen layout that shows the audience the full-screen slide while you see:

• Current slide and next slide preview.
• Speaker notes for the current slide.
• Elapsed time and slide progress.
• AI cheat sheet (key points summary).
• Teleprompter with synchronized scrolling.

Launch via the Present dropdown → Presenter View.

Practice your presentation with real-time feedback. The rehearsal coach tracks:

• Time per slide: highlights slides where you spent too long or too little.
• Total duration: running timer with target comparison.
• Pace: alerts when you're rushing or dragging.

At the end of rehearsal, a summary report shows time distribution across all slides with recommendations.

Each slide has a speaker notes area below the stage. Notes support plain text and are visible in Presenter View and the teleprompter.

During AI generation (wizard or per-slide), speaker notes are auto-generated alongside content. You can edit or clear them at any time.

The teleprompter displays your speaker notes in a large, scrollable format within Presenter View. Two scroll modes are available:

• Auto-scroll: Notes scroll automatically at a configurable speed (words per minute). Pause/resume with a click or spacebar.
• Speech-tracked: Uses the Web Speech API to follow your voice. The teleprompter highlights the current phrase and advances as you speak.

Font size, background opacity, and mirror mode are configurable.

Before presenting, generate an AI cheat sheet from the toolbar. It summarizes each slide into 2–3 key talking points, optimized for quick glancing during delivery.

The cheat sheet appears in a sidebar panel during Presenter View.

Add AI-generated background music to your presentation with Theo Score. You can generate music in two places:

• During creation: In the wizard's outline step, expand the Audio Options panel and enable background music.
• In the editor: Click the Music icon in the toolbar to open the Audio panel.

Four style presets are available: Ambient, Upbeat, Cinematic, and Minimal. Music loops during playback at 20% volume and can be muted from the presentation controls.

Let AI narrate your entire presentation. The narration system uses Theo to generate speaking scripts from your slide content and speaker notes, then converts them to speech with Theo's voice synthesis.

• Choose from 8 voice personas (warm, confident, energetic, calm, etc.).
• Each slide gets an individual audio clip stored in the cloud.
• Preview narration per-slide in the editor's Audio panel.
• Regenerate narration at any time with a different voice.

When narration is enabled, a Start Auto-Present button appears during presentation mode. This plays the AI narration synced with automatic slide advancement:

• The presentation advances to the next slide when narration for the current slide finishes.
• Background music volume is automatically lowered during narration and restored between slides.
• Controls for play/pause, skip forward/back, and a progress bar are shown at the bottom.
• Press K or Space to toggle play/pause.
