About This Feature

Overview

Speaker Notes is a built-in Slides feature in WPS Office for iOS that lets you add talking points for each slide and review them in Presenter View during playback. If you need a mobile presentation notes workflow, it supports note entry, note visibility control, and note viewing while presenting.

Core capabilities include:

Add speaker notes: Enter note content for the current slide in Normal View.
Show or hide notes: Use the Insert or View entry to switch note visibility.
View speaker notes: Check the current slide's note content in Presenter View during playback.

This feature is useful for classroom teaching, project presentations, product demos, and other speaking scenarios where you need prompts while presenting.
