How to Rehearse a Canva Presentation Out Loud

Export your Canva deck as a PDF or PowerPoint, import it into Aitho, and rehearse out loud: your script follows your voice and your slides advance as you speak.

Canva presentations tend to be visual, with little text on each slide. That leaves more of the message to what you say, which is the part worth rehearsing.

Four steps

  1. Export from Canva. In Canva, open your presentation, choose Share, then Download, and pick PDF or PowerPoint (PPTX) as the file type.
  2. Import into Aitho. Sign in and import the file. Aitho never edits your slides.
  3. Add what you'll say. Paste your script, write a few lines per slide, or let Aitho draft a first pass from your slides and edit it in your own words.
  4. Rehearse out loud. Speak the talk. The script follows your voice, the word you're on is highlighted, and your slides advance as you reach each slide's words. If you lose your place, keep talking and it catches up.

Then practise the questions

When you finish, practise the questions you're likely to get. Answers are drawn from your own slides and documents and appear only on your screen.
