Speaker notes are a feature in presentation software that allow presenters to add notes to each slide of their presentation. These notes are intended to help the presenter remember key points, provide additional information, and keep the presentation on track. Speaker notes are not visible to the audience and are intended solely for the presenters reference.

Speaker notes can be added to a slide by selecting the "Notes" pane at the bottom of the presentation window. The notes pane can be used to add any notes the presenter wants to see but doesnt want the viewers to see. The notes can be used to recall important points, such as key messages or stats, as the presenter gives the presentation.

Speaker notes can be printed out or viewed in Presenter view, which allows the presenter to see their notes while the audience sees only the slides. Speaker notes can also be added to Google Slides presentations using the voice type speaker notes feature, which can quickly record and type the presenters thoughts underneath each slide.

In summary, speaker notes are a powerful feature in presentation software that can help presenters stay on track, provide additional information, and feel more confident during their presentation. By using speaker notes effectively, presenters can create a more engaging and informative presentation for their audience.
