Creating PPT Sound transitions for all audiences

It’s important for blind students to use sound transitions in PowerPoint because it helps them follow their presentations without needing to see the slides. Creating PPT sound transitions is essential as the sound cues let them know when a slide changes, making it easier to stay organized and understand the flow of the presentation. This not only builds their confidence in using technology but also helps make their presentations more accessible to everyone, whether they are blind or sighted.

Here are the keyboard commands to add sound transitions in PowerPoint:

1. Select the Slide:
   • Use the arrow keys to navigate to the slide you want to add a sound transition to.
2. Open Transitions Tab:
   • Press ALT + K to open the Transitions tab.
3. Choose a Transition:
   • Use the arrow keys to select a transition effect from the gallery.
4. Add Sound to Transition:
   • Press ALT + K, then U to open the Sound drop-down menu.
   • Use the arrow keys to select a built-in sound or press O to choose your own sound file.
5. Preview the Transition:
   • Press ALT + K, then V to preview the transition with the sound.
6. Apply to All Slides (if needed):
   • Press ALT + K, then A to apply the transition and sound to all slides.

These commands should help you efficiently add sound transitions to your PowerPoint slides, thereby creating seamless PPT transitions.
