What the PPT summary gives you

The result is one text panel titled Summary. Copy it, or download it as a TXT file named after your deck.

It does not number the slides, list key points on their own or show the text it read. Your deck is not previewed either, so keep it open in another window to check the summary.

Summarize Google Slides or Keynote

The tool reads PPT, PPTX and PDF files, so export first. In Google Slides, open File, Download and choose PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF. In Keynote, open File, Export To and choose PowerPoint or PDF.

Decks that summarize well

The summary follows the text on your slides.

  • Write slide titles that state the point, like Churn fell 12% after the pricing change. A title like Update gives the summary nothing.
  • Keep key text as text. A screenshot of a table may be skipped.
  • Say what a chart shows in its title, then check the numbers in the original.
  • Move anything that matters from the speaker notes onto the slide.

Prepare for a meeting with the summary

Read the summary to learn what the deck argues. Write down the questions it leaves open. Then open the original for what a summary cannot be trusted with: figures, dates, owners, deadlines and anything a decision rests on.

If the summary is vague, check that the important points appear as slide text.
