Predictive text in PowerPoint: how Lightkey works in your slides

3 days ago
2 min read

Yes, Lightkey works in PowerPoint on your Windows PC. As you type on a slide or in your 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

Install the Lightkey desktop app and open PowerPoint. Predictions appear in titles, text boxes and speaker notes, with nothing to set up in PowerPoint.



Lightkey's predictions come from your own writing, and they work the same way in Gmail, Outlook and virtually every other app on your PC.



What it helps you write in PowerPoint

Decks repeat themselves: the same agenda, the same section titles, the same closing slide. Lightkey learns yours, for example:


  • “Agenda and objectives”

  • “Key results for the quarter”

  • “Next steps and owners”

  • “Thank you for your time and attention.”


Spelling suggestions appear above a misspelled word, so a typo doesn't make it onto the big screen.


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. Your slides stay on your device.


Get started

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

  2. Open PowerPoint 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.
