PowerPoint for Office 365 can transcribe your words as you present and display them on-screen as captions in the same language you are speaking, or as subtitles translated to another language.

12 spoken languages are supported. Subtitles and captions can be written in over 60 languages.

This can help accommodate individuals in the audience who may be deaf or hard of hearing, or more familiar with another language, respectively. This version of PowerPoint can also create downloadable text transcripts from the live presentation.
