I am going to use Kenote to give the presentation and was going to give
verbal description to each image during the presentation but I wanted to
embed that same text in the presentation (and derived PDF) for those who
couldn't make it and were reviewing the materials afterwards. For those
who don't need the descriptive text I would prefer that the text only be
discovered by voiceover. Apparently keynote has a 'record presentation'
feature which records not only your slides and the timing of stepping
through them but also the live audio. Maybe I should try that although I
would need to hang out close to the laptop so the audio would be decent.
I'm also doing the presentation with another person whom I'm skyping in
(I hope) so I don't know if their audio would make it into the
recording. Never simple :)

Hello Chris,
Have you thought of using Keynote to do the presentation? You can associate an
audio file with each slide that only you can hear. Unless, of course, you want
to provide audio for the audience. Associating an audio clip with each slide
gets over the problem of VO not reading the slides during the presentation.
Cheers,
Anne

Hmm. This works for the presentation but in the PDF the notes obscure the
images. I guess I could locate the note elsewhere on the slide. I was hoping
for the equivalent of alt text for the images which voiceover would pick up but
would not have a visual impact. I know I can do this in OpenOffice and I assume
in PowerPoint.

Hello Chris,
If you want to apply a text description to an image without the audience seeing
it, you can use the Comment command from the Insert menu. This creates a sticky
note in the centre of the slide and positions the text pointer in it ready for
you to type your comment.
When you export to PDF, select the Export slides with notes radio button. When
the presentation is played, these sticky notes are not shown.
If this doesn't solve your problem, let me know.
Cheers,
Anne

I'm getting ready to do a presentation and have put it together in Keynote.
Besides text I have some images which I want to add text descriptions for.
Anyone know how to do this? When I output the presentation as PDF the images
have no text so VO just skips right over them. Other presentation software lets
you set a text attribute for an image but I've not noodled out how to do this
in Keynote.
