Hi!

We are a team in Ericsson Sweden working with eLearnings. We are trying to record audio to slides in PowerPoint. The recording works fine but when comparing to other recording software the sound quality is very bad when recording in PowerPoint. Is there any way the quality could be improved? Any settings in PowerPoint? We tested with same microphone in different software. One example was testeing recording the voice with Articulate Voice recording in PowerPoint and compared that with the "insert" "audio" "Record audio" function. The sound quality was so much better with Articulate recording compared to PowerPoint.

If you have any idea how this could be improved we would appriciate it a lot. Getting Articulate is rather expensive and not everyone we work with can buy this software. Whay it would be great if they could use the built in solution in PowerPoint.

Thanks

Hello Anna,

The forum is for developers. I'd recommend asking non-programming questions on the Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - IT Pro General Discussions  forum instead.

From a developer perspective you may consider developing an add-in for PowerPoint with the required functionality (using any APIs or components for recording the audio). See Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for PowerPoint to get started quickly.
