Presenting…GitPitch Audio Slide Decks
A brand new way for developers to SHARE knowledge, TEACH, and deliver TRAINING materials.
A single kind word can change a person’s feelings for a day. A single insightful remark can change a person’s perspective for life.
Words have immense power.
At their best, words have the power to engage. To inspire. To educate.
To harness this power, GitPitch now supports audio slide decks. Allowing you to deliver your words. In your own voice. To audiences. Everywhere.
Seeing & Hearing is Believing
To experience a GitPitch audio slide deck live, click on the following image to open a sample deck in your browser:
When you open this sample deck note the 🎧 headphones icon in the bottom-left corner of your browser window. Once the presentation is fully loaded, position your mouse over this icon to reveal the audio player controls ⏯ to start audio playback for the deck.
If you are viewing this sample slide deck in a browser on your desktop, once playback has started, the deck will automatically advance between slides with the audio playing in sync as each new slide (or slide fragment) is displayed.
If you are viewing this sample slide deck in a browser on a mobile device, the audio will only play as the direct result of user interaction, so you need to click play ⏯ to hear the audio on each new slide.
Share Knowledge, Teach, and Deliver Training
The Roman orator and philosopher Cicero claimed that an artful combination of substance, technique, and passion was required to deliver great speeches. I believe the same can be said of great presentations.
Traditional slide presentation tools are optimized to deliver substance. But technique and passion flow more directly from the speaker. From their words. From subtle changes in intonation. From casual anecdotes and asides. From the energy a speaker shares with their audience.
GitPitch lets presentation authors narrate slide decks in order to capture the more intangible qualities of a successful speech or presentation: technique and passion. Captured as a voice-over for the substance found on individual slides and slide fragments 🔉
Limited Time Offer! Please leave a comment below if you would like me to arrange David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman to narrate your next GitPitch audio slide deck 😃
An audio slide deck becomes something to be experienced. Not simply something to be viewed. Delivering a more memorable, vivid, sticky experience for a potentially global, online audience.
GitPitch audio slide decks deliver a powerful solution for developers to share knowledge, teach, and deliver training materials with audiences inside and outside the enterprise.
Audio slide decks deliver one further benefit, your energy and enthusiasm never wains no matter how many times your slide deck sings the praises of your latest technology or product!
Let your Voice be Heard
In keeping with the design philosophy that I try to adopt for all GitPitch features, adding audio to any slide deck is simple. The details are in the docs. To go directly to the GitPitch Audio Slide Decks Guide click on the following screenshot.
Modern Slide Decks for Developers
In April, 2018 I published a blog post titled Use Git to deliver modern slideshow presentations. You can read the original post here.
The seamless delivery of audio slide decks from any public or private repository on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket is one more example of GitPitch delivering on this promise. The promise of a modern slide deck solution for developers. Powered by Markdown and Git.
