Hi May, Key Notes in iworks reads power points. I am not sure how accessible key note is yet, since I have been using it only to make all the power point I get in to PDFs that way is easy to read it on preview or acrobat pro without having to worry about if I am messing out with the lay out. Perhaps someone here has used key notes and no more about it and how accessible it is. If you have an iPad, keynotes works like a charm with VO in there. The issue is how the person made their power points too, there are some people who love to fix background images of text on their slides, in that case, no joy. To get by, of course you can always make in to PDF and then run OCR on it with acrobat pro. Don't tell that to professors though, they should type the text in to it for god sake. If I had to transform all my pots in to PDFs and then run OCR I would not have time for any thing else. So this is just a quick way out for low volumes. If you want to know how to make a ppt you received in to pdf, here are the steps. 1. go to the file you want click to open. Key note will open with your presentation. 2. use the short cut command p. If that does not work go to file and find print. 3. tab or vo right arrow until you find the word PDF and vo space to select . 4. down arrow until you find save as PDF. check and it will ask for a title and where you want to save. voila, you are done, you can also quit your key note and I would not save changes to when key notes asks you.
