From manuscript to slide deck — your words, typeset for a talk

Paper to Slides reads a finished .docx and plans the talk that is inside it — then renders it as a .pptx with a theme you choose. Every slide's headline starts from a sentence the paper already contains, scored rather than invented. Outline mode keeps that promise fully. Narrated mode openly breaks it to write a talk that can be spoken, and says so.

Two modes, one paper

• Outline — deterministic. Headlines and bullets are sentences from the manuscript, selected and shortened by rule rather than rewritten. No language model is involved at any point.
• Narrated — generative. A language model plans the whole talk, designs each slide as an editable diagram, key result, highlighted table or short points, and writes timed speaker notes. Any number not in the manuscript is dropped. Every other ORBIT tool restructures without inventing; this one cannot when it compresses twenty pages into fifteen slides, so the exception is stated rather than blurred.
• Backup slides, in both modes when the box is ticked: your full tables, unused figures and the references, after the talk. Narrated also adds two likely reviewer questions with answers from the paper's own discussion.

What it costs

Outline costs 1 credit; Narrated costs 3. Both draw the same shared pool as the rest of ORBIT and the 5 free credits each month on the Base plan cover either. If the Narrated planning step fails, an Outline deck is delivered and 1 credit is charged.

Top-ups: 5 credits for ₹750, 10 credits for ₹1,500, 15 credits for ₹2,250.

What happens to your file

The .docx is parsed in memory for one request and a plan is returned to your browser for you to approve before anything is rendered. The rendered .pptx is generated and streamed back. No document, no deck and no plan is written to disk or kept after the response.

What it does not do

• It does not read figures for meaning — it places them, scores their resolution, and keeps their captions, but it does not describe them.
• It does not guarantee a talk an audience will love. It guarantees a talk that represents what the paper says, with every sentence traceable to the manuscript.
• It does not accept files over 4.5 MB, or anything that is not a .docx.
• It does not store anything. Copy or download before you close the tab.

Questions about Paper to Slides

What is Paper to Slides?

A tool that turns a finished research paper (.docx) into a slide deck. It reads the manuscript's structure — headings, sections, figures and tables — and plans a talk, then renders it as a .pptx with a theme you choose. Every slide's headline comes from a sentence the paper already contains, scored rather than invented.

What is the difference between Outline and Narrated mode?

Outline mode is deterministic and keeps your words exactly: every headline and bullet is a sentence from the paper, shortened only by extraction. Narrated mode uses a language model to plan the talk, turn each slide into a diagram, key result, highlighted table or short points, and write timed speaker notes. Every number on a slide must appear in your paper. The deck openly contains sentences you did not write. That exception is named here rather than hidden, because every other ORBIT tool refuses to invent text and this one cannot make that promise when it compresses twenty pages into fifteen slides.

What does it cost?

Outline costs 1 credit and Narrated costs 3, both drawn from the same shared pool as the rest of ORBIT. Your 5 free credits each month on the Base plan cover either. If the Narrated planning step fails, you get an Outline deck and are charged 1 credit.

Is my paper stored?

No. The .docx is parsed in memory for one request, a slide plan is returned to your browser, and you approve it before anything is rendered. The rendered .pptx is generated and streamed straight back. No document, no deck and no plan is written to disk or kept after the response is sent.

Can I edit the deck after it is built?

Yes — it is a normal .pptx. Open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote and edit anything. ORBIT does not lock the file and does not add macros. The theme and layout are applied as PowerPoint shapes, so every element remains editable.

How long a talk can it build?

Lightning (10 slides), Conference (15), Seminar (20) and Defence (25), plus a title slide and a Questions slide. A longer talk is not more slides of the same thing — it widens the outline to include more of the paper's sections and evidence, so a Defence deck covers the full paper where a Lightning talk covers only the core claim. Backup slides with your full tables, figures and references are added after the talk if you tick the box, and do not count towards the length.
