PowerPoints and Text to Speech

Hi Everyone,

Recently I learned a lot about powerpoints and how to make them accessible
for those who use screen readers (thanks to everyone here who provided a ton
of resources). I wondered if any of you had specific tips for those that use
text to speech software? I thought that by making a powerpoint accessible to
someone who uses the screen reader that this would cover other text to
speech converters. Would this not work the same as a screen reader or am I
wrong here?

Thanks!
