You’ll find full details on these topics in our Core Components of Presenter article.
Add slide headings and speaker notes in the Editor using Markdown. If you don’t know Markdown, don’t worry—simply select the formatting you want from the Inspector’s Text panel.
What you write will either be text on slides, or speech. You can easily set this from the Inspector too. Keep text on slides to the absolute minimum. Lots of text and bullet points will bore your audience.
A good presentation is all about telling a great story. So if you already have speaker notes you want to reuse, go ahead and import them. And be sure to select unique, impactful pictures. Here’s a quick rundown:
Designing can be a pain, so we made it easy. As you enter headings and text, iA Presenter will help you choose an ideal layout. If you have time, go ahead and experiment.
