Turn Finished Slides Into Speaker Notes That Sound Like You
Generate presentation notes that match your speaking style, not generic bullet points
You have the slides done but writing speaker notes takes forever and they end up sounding stiff. You need notes that capture how you actually talk, not a script you read word for word.
That is the gap this drop closes. It is a content & writing skill built for Gemini, and it takes about ten minutes to set up the first time. After that it runs in under a minute.
Who should use it
People who present decks regularly and need notes that feel natural to deliver
How it works
The skill file does five things, in this order.
1. Upload your deck and a recording or transcript. Give Gemini both your slide file and a sample of how you speak from a past presentation or meeting
2. Feed Gemini your style markers. Point out specific patterns like whether you use questions, stories, pauses, or technical depth
3. Request notes per slide with timing. Ask for speaker notes mapped to each slide with suggested duration and transition cues
4. Mark where you improvise versus where you need precision. Tell Gemini which slides need exact wording for compliance or data and which allow flexibility
5. Test one section out loud and refine. Read the notes for three slides aloud, then ask Gemini to adjust based on what felt awkward
What comes back
Speaker notes that sound like your voice and give you confidence without reading a script
The mistake to avoid
Save a style reference document with examples of your natural phrasing for reuse across presentations. Update it after each talk when you notice phrases that worked well.
Running it
Save the prompt as a Gem so it is reusable, or paste it into Gemini with your files attached. If the task touches Sheets, Docs or Gmail, run it from the Workspace side panel so it can read the file you already have open.
Where this fits
On its own, one skill saves an hour a week. The compounding happens when three or four of them run in sequence on the same input, the same transcript that produces a scope of work also produces the follow-up email and the project brief. That is the point at which it stops being a prompt and starts being an internal tool. If you want that wired into the systems your team already uses, that is the work 67 Digital does.
In the file
I need speaker notes for the attached presentation deck. I have also attached {transcript or recording description} from a previous talk that shows my natural speaking style.
Analyse my style for these patterns:
- Sentence length and rhythm
- Use of questions or direct address
- Technical terminology versus plain language
- Stories, examples, or data points I favour
- Transition phrases I use between topics
For each slide in the deck, create speaker notes that:
- Match my observed speaking patterns
- Suggest timing in minutes
- Mark transitions to the next slide
- Indicate where exact wording matters versus where I can improvise
- Flag slides with {compliance requirements, data precision, legal language} that need verbatim delivery
- Keep a conversational tone that sounds like me talking, not reading
Format the output as a two-column table: slide number and title in the first column, speaker notes with timing in the second.
After the table, list three phrases from my style sample that I use frequently, so I can verify the notes sound authentic.
