    ~~Also posted in WORK board~~

    I need powerpoint slides made from various text books and typed-page slides I have at the moment.

    How much (per slide etc.. per hour?) would I expect to pay to get someone to create powerpoint slides with all the frills from the pages????

    Thanks..

    Hmmm; never heard of anyone paying for powerpoint slides before:dunno:

    It's not too hard to make them; i've made a few with OpenOffice before.

    Probably some general IT company would do them...

    Still; if you can't find a company to do them; you aren't exactly sunk; unless perhaps you don't have the time to do them yourself.

    Is this for reading? or demonstration?

    If its reading, you would be better off scanning and converting it to PDF.

    Open Office will do both for you (except the scanning bit).

    If its a bound book, then you'll have to do the scanning manually. If not, and the typed pages are loose leaf then you can feed them through a document scanner. Then you'd have to decide if the quality of the scan was good enough for the presentation, if not you might to OCR the pages or put them through a graphic clean up process, in some automated graphic app etc.

    If you want to add eeffects to the text then that text will have to be typed in if it can't be OCR'ed accurately. Then you'd have to build all the slides add effects, etc. At the end of all that you need to have someone proof read the whole thing so that theres no errors. Errors look 100 times worse if spotted in a presentation.

    Of course you might need some one to do some custom graphics, build charts or photos, that kind of thing.

    So its how long is a piece of string really. Theres lots of places that do this kind of work. Most of them well give you a free quote.

    The slides are intended for presentation.

    I have at the moment a lot of slides on plastic acetate that I use with an overhead projector, but these are dull and lifeless and deteriorate the more they are used.

    What I want is for them to be converted into powerpoint slides, I could do it myself but dont really have the time..

    Just wondering where I might get a rough estimate of what it might cost. Anything rough would do,

    I am presuming the whole lot would have to be typed out again as OCR software wouldnt pick up most of it, these were printed/photocopied a yr or two ago...

    Any suggestions on who to contact? or any rough guesses at a price per slide etc?
