One of the major considerations you show has while drafting a presentation is the choice of language. With most presentations now drafted in English, there is a necessity for a tool to help provide a live subtitle for foreign viewers or colleagues so that they can follow along with ease.
Microsoft has made such a tool as an add-on for its Powerpoint application, and the tool we are talking about is the Presentation Translator for Powerpoint.
The presentation translator live translates your presentation into any desired language and also provides relevant subtitles. This makes it easy for users around the world to join the conversation without worrying about language constraints.
At the moment the Presentation Translator supports up to 100 unique users at the same time, and thus, reach and exposure is definitely not an issue.
