Can OralSlides generate the deck for me?

No. OralSlides assumes the deck is the asset and only generates the narration layer. Use Tome, Gamma, or PowerPoint Copilot for that.

Does Tome support voice narration?

Tome has light narration features, but it isn’t the focus of the tool. For polished MP4 narration, export the deck and run it through OralSlides.

Comparison

OralSlides vs Tome

Existing deck → narrated video vs. AI-built deck

Tome is a generative slide tool — it writes a new deck for you from a prompt, in its own canvas. OralSlides starts on the other side of the funnel: take an existing `.pptx` deck and turn it into a narrated MP4. They are complementary tools, not competitors, but the choice depends on whether your bottleneck is *making the deck* or *recording it*.

Best for

Teams who own a PowerPoint deck today and only need narration + MP4 export.

Not ideal for

Founders starting from a one-line idea and wanting a finished web-shaped deck.

Pick OralSlides when

You already have the deck and the bottleneck is recording.
You need a portable MP4 (LMS upload, internal wiki, email).
You want a repeatable pipeline for quarterly updates of the same deck.

Pick Tome when

You don’t have a deck yet and want one in minutes.
You prefer a Notion-shaped, scrolling, web-native presentation.
You don’t need a video — sharing a link is enough.

Workflow side-by-side

Use them together

Draft the deck in Tome, export to PowerPoint, then upload to OralSlides for narration and MP4 export. This pairs Tome’s authoring speed with OralSlides’ async-friendly distribution.

OralSlides solo

If your deck is ready in PowerPoint, skip Tome. Upload the `.pptx`, get the MP4, distribute. Two minutes from upload to first preview.
