SoniClear SalesVoice can be used to create professional-quality voice recordings for narrating PowerPoint presentations. Applications include self-running sales presentations, corporate training, and e-learning modules.

SoniClear makes it easy for anyone to produce professional-quality voice recordings. Two unique features make this possible: Undo capability during recording and VoiceBoost audio enhancement.

VoiceBoost for Studio Quality

The digital signal processing in SoniClear makes your voice sound like it has been recorded in a professional recording studio. VoiceBoost performs all of the functions of a $3,000 recording studio voice processor, automatically, and without requiring any special audio engineering experience.

How To Instructions

PowerPoint can import WAV audio files created by SoniClear. You create a single audio file for each slide that is in your presentation.

Download and install SoniClear SalesVoice, and start the program.

The default source of audio is from your sound card microphone. If your computer has a built-in microphone (typical for laptops) the program will record automatically from it. Otherwise, plug a computer microphone into the mic-in jack of the sound card.

Now create a new file for recording. Click the New button, enter a file name, select Presentation as the recording type, and click OK.

This will display "Ready to Record" in the status window, along with the length of time that you can record (based on the amount of free space on your disk drive). The program is now ready to record your voice track.

Click the red Record button and start speaking. The first time using the program you will probably need to adjust the record volume. If you are using the standard microphone source in your sound card, you simply adjust the "level" slider. The best level is when the record meter registers generally in the middle of the range. Too low or too high of a meter reading will result in poor audio quality.

When finished reading the script, click the Stop button. You can review the audio by clicking the Play button. If you do not hear anything, be sure the audio to the computer speaker is on. This can be adjusted by clicking on the speaker icon in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

If you are satisfied with the sound, the recording is finished. If not, you can click the Undo button and record again. Keep repeating the record and undo steps until you are satisfied with the result.

The finished WAV file can then be imported into a PowerPoint slide. There are a number of methods for including the audio in the slide. The easiest is to use Insert/Movies and Sounds/Sound From File from the pulldown menu, and to select the file recorded in SoniClear (the default directory of the recorded file is MyDocuments). This will give you the option to play the sound automatically when the slide is displayed, or when the user clicks on the speaker icon. When your presentation is completed, use the "Pack and Go" feature of PowerPoint to bundle the presentation slides with audio recordings. Be sure to check the "Include Links" option so that the audio files will be included.

To dramatically reduce the size of the audio information in the finished presentation, you can convert the WAV files into MP3 format. Select File/Export to MP3 from the SoniClear pulldown menu. Then import the MP3 version of the file into PowerPoint, instead of the WAV file.

A useful SoniClear technique for recording voice tracks is to record in sections. Each time you record and then stop, you have the option to listen to the section just recorded and erase only that portion. Divide the script into natural groups of information. Record a section by clicking the Record button, read the script for that section, and then click Stop. Listen to that section by clicking the Play button. If the recording is satisfactory, continue with the next section by clicking Record. If the recording is not correct, click the Undo button. This will remove only the last recorded section from the file. You can then re-record that section.
