Follow the steps below to add closed captions or subtitles to a PowerPoint presentation using Office Mix...
Office Mix is compatible with MS Office 2013 and Office 365 and helps to create engaging presentations using screen capture, audio recordings, onscreen notes, embedded live websites, and more.
Please note that Office Mix is only available for Windows/PC users!
Step 1- Install Office Mix on your PC
Navigate to the Office Mix website and click Get Office Mix.

Note: In order to eventually export your presentation as a Mix, make sure you save your PowerPoint file in .pptx format.
Step 3- Export MP4 of the presentation
To prepare your presentation for the transcription process, export the presentation as an .mp4
Navigate to MIX > Export to Video and then select your video resolution based on the playback device.

Go to File > Save As.
Add “.ttml” to the end of the file name.
