ppt2video

A tool that converts a PowerPoint (PPT) to a video with voice narration (reading the notes from each slide)

This tool reads the note contents from each slide using Google TTS and converts the PPT to an MP4 video.

Installation

pip install ppt2video

Usage

• Step 1: Place your PPT file (or .pptx) into a specific folder (e.g., data/ppt/your_ppt_name.pptx).

  • If not using Windows, you may save the slides as images (e.g., png) to the folder data/ppt/your_ppt_name/.

• Step 2: Set up Google Cloud Authentication to access the note contents in your slides:

  • You need to set up authentication using your Google Cloud service account key. Follow these steps:
    • Go to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/).
    • Create a new project (or use an existing project).
    • Enable the Text-to-Speech API for that project.
    • Create a Service Account and download the JSON key file.

• Step 3: Run the code

from ppt2video.tools import *

meta = Meta(
    ppt_file='your_ppt_slide.pptx',  # Name of your PPT file
    google_application_credentials='/config/google_cloud.json'  # Location and filename of your Google Cloud service account key
)

# Run the conversion
ppt_to_video(meta)
