Twistly runs inside PowerPoint rather than beside it. It converts PDFs, Word documents or plain text into slides, generates images, writes speaker notes, translates a whole deck, and redesigns existing slides, exporting native .pptx because it never left PowerPoint in the first place.
Working as an add-in is the entire argument against the browser-based generators. Corporate decks live in PowerPoint, get edited by colleagues in PowerPoint and are presented from PowerPoint, and every tool that generates elsewhere adds an export step where formatting breaks. Deck translation is the standout: doing it manually means retyping every text box and refixing every layout.
It targets students, teachers, marketers, sales and HR, with brand templates supported. A free month and trial access are offered but no pricing figures appear. Being an add-in ties it to PowerPoint, generated slides still need editing for anything that matters, and translated text changes length, which breaks layouts regardless of who does the translating.
