• I don't have confidence in my own smooth speaking skills.
• I want to speak in a way that is clear and easy to understand.

This method is attracting a lot of attention in some places, and even Ondoku

Text-to-speech software that allows you to add audio to slides

There are many other text reading software, but this time I recommend Ondoku .

There are three reasons why I recommend Ondoku.
