Predictive text in Google Slides: how Lightkey works in your presentations

6 hours ago
2 min read

Yes, Lightkey works in Google Slides. As you type in a text box, a title or the speaker notes, Lightkey predicts your next words in grey right where you're typing. Press Tab to accept, or keep typing. It also suggests spelling corrections as you go.


How it works

Google Slides runs in the browser, so Lightkey works there through the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge, which works together with the Lightkey desktop app.



Install the desktop app, add the extension, and open a presentation.


What it helps you write in Google Slides

Decks reuse the same language from one presentation to the next: your product names, your key messages, your closing slides. Lightkey learns them, for example:


  • “Key takeaways from this quarter”

  • “Thank you. Questions?”

  • “Next steps and owners”

  • “Revenue grew 12% compared to last year.”


Speaker notes are where it helps most: they're long, and you write them for every deck.


Private by design

Lightkey's prediction engine runs on your own computer. What you type isn't sent to a cloud service to get a prediction, and Lightkey keeps working offline.


Get started

  1. Download Lightkey and start your free 30-day trial.

  2. Install the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge if you also work in the browser.

  3. Open Microsoft Teams and start typing. Press Tab to accept a prediction.


Lightkey works in more than 80 languages and in virtually every app on your Windows PC. See all supported apps.
