Where does Voiceover belong in the L&D Workflow?

For years, the instructional design workflow has been a predictable relay race: build in PowerPoint, export to Storyline, then layer in narration once everything’s locked down. The process works — it’s just painfully slow.

Voiceover always becomes the bottleneck. Either you record your own scratch tracks (and pray you never have to re-record them), or you wrangle text-to-speech tools in a browser tab, copy the clips back into PowerPoint, test timing, export again, and then import to Storyline. That’s a nine-step loop that kills creative momentum.

But here’s the thing: PowerPoint already sits at the center of your design process. It’s where pacing, tone, and flow come together long before your first Storyline trigger ever fires. So why not let your slides speak while you’re still designing?

That’s the shift Voxsmith makes possible. Instead of treating narration as a post-production step, you can generate professional-sounding voiceover directly from your PowerPoint speaker notes — instantly. That means you can build, test, and hear your content during early drafts. You can adjust phrasing, check pacing, and make real design decisions based on sound, not just text.

Once your deck feels right, you import it straight into Storyline — fully narrated, timing baked in, ready for sync and polish. It’s faster, cleaner, and way closer to how real courses get built in the wild.

Audio used to be the last thing you added. Now it’s the first thing that helps you think. The demo is live and I am looking for testers!
