Generating Accessible Content with ChatGPT-4.0
Step 1: Initial Prompt
Start by inputting a prompt into ChatGPT-4.0. I asked for the rules on using headings for accessibility across any platform. The AI provided a comprehensive list of rules, which formed the basis of the presentation content.
Step 2: Creating a PowerPoint Presentation
Next, instruct ChatGPT-4.0 to convert the generated list into a PowerPoint presentation. The AI will create a plain, editable presentation, allowing for easy customization. This simplicity ensures that the content can be tailored to specific design needs while maintaining accessibility.

Step 3: Verifying Accessibility
Run the presentation through the PowerPoint accessibility checker to ensure the generated presentation meets accessibility standards. Navigate to File > Info > Check Accessibility to confirm there are no issues. This step is crucial for compliance with accessibility guidelines.
Customizing the Presentation
Using Outline View
Go to outline view in PowerPoint. The content generated by ChatGPT-4.0 was properly organized into container elements, in a completely plain design, making it easy to navigate and edit.
Applying Design Themes
One of the key benefits of the plain format is the ability to apply any design theme quickly. Choose any in-built slide design theme and apply it to the presentation. It’s that easy to customize the presentation’s appearance.
Integrating Pre-designed Templates
Another option is to fill a pre-designed template with content generated by ChatGPT-4.0. Upload your custom template, instruct the AI to populate it, and review the results. The AI will accurately apply the content to the template, although minor adjustments may be needed for specific design elements.

Conclusion
My demonstration highlights the power and practicality of using ChatGPT-4.0 for creating accessible PowerPoint presentations. The AI’s ability to generate compliant, customizable content simplifies the process, making it accessible for users of all skill levels. This tool proves to be a valuable asset in ensuring that digital content is both engaging and accessible.
