So my trip to Brazil next month - they just asked to have my presentation in a week (3 weeks early). No problem. Then it dawned on me - they want a SCRIPT, not just slides, so they can *translate* it.

I have to script it all. script? I can do that, but it takes being in a very different head-space to make the script authentic and still extemporaneous, yet understandable.

Next few days work are cut out for me.

@lauraritchie You might try using speech-to-text transcription - cloud.google.com/speech-to-tex - using your slides, do a rehearsal version of the talk. Take the transcription and edit it. (In the past I've used human transcribers to create scripts from my talks, but it would cost around $US 150).
