To #blind people with experience with #PowerPoint, I need help! My school wants me to create a #presentation with speaker notes and graphics, and I'm having extreme trouble even getting started. My info text box with my name, school, and date covers everything up, and I can't figure out moving it or how to get to speaker notes. I normally create assignments with #LaTeX, but I kept running into issues making a presentation that way. I'm on #Windows using #NVDA. Disability services made this sound doable and even easy, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

@DesireeRenae @mastoblind @main Hmm, I'll have to look into this. I didn't know you could make presentations with Markdown.

@RareBird15 @DesireeRenae @mastoblind @main Markdown works for standard presentations but it doesn't cover math or special styles and citations. On the iPhone and Mac there is a presentation app called Deckset which is designed around Markdown which builds the slides automatically but it again doesn't give the completeness of the Latex ecosystem.
