iFlytek SmartText

What is iFlytek SmartText?

iFlyText is an AI tool for creating documents and presentations, developed by iFlytek. It is designed to help users quickly generate editable PPT or Word files based on a given theme or existing material. Users can enter a brief theme, paste long texts, or upload pre-existing documents; the AI will first create an outline of the content, after which the user can choose a template, arrange the layout, and add images. Finally, the document can be edited online and exported.

It is based on iFlytek’s Xinghuo large model and is designed for use in scenarios such as work reports, teaching materials, project plans, product descriptions, book reviews, thesis defenses, and general documents. Unlike websites that only provide PPT templates, iFlytek SmartText is involved in content creation, outline formulation, page layout, image selection, speech drafts, and multilingual processing as well.

However, the resulting output is still a draft; the data, logic, citations, and brand visuals require manual review.

Core functions

1. Generate a PPT from a single sentence

Enter the theme of the presentation, its purpose, the target audience, and the key points to cover. The system will first generate a title and a hierarchical outline, and then create a complete page based on that outline. It is advisable for users to specify the duration of the presentation, the number of pages, the audience, and the desired conclusions before generating the content; for example, “A 15-minute quarterly review intended for management, focusing on the reasons for growth, existing risks, and future plans.” This approach makes it easier to obtain a suitable structure compared to simply entering a short title.

2. Converting long texts and documents into PPTs

iFlytek SmartText enables the conversion of existing materials into presentations. The official update log specifies that DOC, PDF, and TXT files can be uploaded, and after the system processes their content, it generates a PPT file.

It is also possible to create additional generation requirements through customization, so that the output better matches the original text.

The clearer the document structure is, and the more organized the headings, lists, and paragraph levels are, the more stable the outline that results from the parsing will typically be.

Scanning of PDFs, complex tables, two-column documents, headers, footers, and text within images may result in incomplete extraction of information. In the case of contracts, research reports, and financial documents, it is necessary to compare the key figures with those in the original text; AI-generated summaries should not be used as a substitute for the original content.

3. AI Word documents

In addition to PPT, the platform also offers AI Word, which can generate coherent text based on a topic or specific materials, and allows for the selection of different document types. It is suitable for creating preliminary drafts of plans, reports, summaries, and longer written documents.

The structural logic behind creating documents in Word differs from that used in PPTs: the former focuses on complete paragraphs and coherent narratives, while the latter emphasizes page titles, short sentences, and visual hierarchy. It is necessary to determine the final format of the output before choosing the appropriate mode.

4. Outline editing

Before generating the PPT, it is possible to view and adjust the outline; users can create new sections, move them around, change their hierarchy, and reorder them. This step is crucial for improving the quality of the PPT: users can delete duplicate sections, combine similar ideas, add conclusions and action items, and then have the system create the pages accordingly.

If an incorrect outline is accepted outright, changing the template later will not resolve the issues with the logical structure of the content.

5. AI writing and text editing

The official homepage states that the platform offers more than a dozen AI-based text editing functions, allowing users to rewrite, expand, condense, refine, continue writing, or translate the content generated. It is suitable for converting colloquial text into formal language, reducing the length of lengthy pages, or adjusting the wording to suit different audiences.

Policy, legal, medical, financial, and academic texts should still be reviewed by professionals.

6. Multilingual generation and translation

The platform supports the generation of text in 10 foreign languages, including English, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, and it enables multilingual translation. It is suitable for creating materials for international introductions, language courses, and draft versions of cross-border meetings.

Proper nouns, numerical units, names of people, product models, and industry-specific terms are prone to translation errors; important presentations should be reviewed by someone who is familiar with the target language.

7. AI automatic image matching

iFlytek SmartText generates image generation prompts automatically based on the text on a page, and it is possible to create multiple images at once for selection. The official update logs also mention improvements in the automatic addition of images to PPTs as well as optimizations to the resolution of those images.

Automatic image generation can quickly provide images for covers, chapter pages, and concept pages, but it should not replace actual product photos, accurate data charts, or branded materials with proper licensing.

8. Templates, illustrations, and color schemes

Users can change the page layout, template colors, and icons at any time. The platform offers structured layouts such as title bars and timelines, and it also allows users to customize the background, theme colors, and font colors of PPT templates.

Template switching mainly alters the visual presentation; it does not automatically correct incorrect facts or chaotic outlines.

Before exporting, check for text overflow, line breaks, cropped images, font size, and contrast. The online preview may differ from what is seen in PowerPoint, WPS, or when using different font settings on various computers; it is necessary to open the exported file on an actual device for testing before giving a formal presentation.

9. Speech text and notes

iFlytek SmartText can automatically generate a speech script based on the content of a PPT, and include any notes in the exported PPT. The complete speech script can also be exported as a Word document, making it easy to print, rehearse, and make further adjustments.

Automatic speech generators typically expand the key points on a page into coherent sentences, but this may not correspond to an individual’s speaking pace or the duration of the meeting; it is recommended to make adjustments based on the number of words per minute and to conduct practice sessions with a timer.

10. Online demonstration and export in multiple formats

The platform supports online demonstrations; PPT files can be exported as editable presentation files or in PDF format, while the full text of the speech can be exported in Word format.

The Document Center was specifically optimized for compatibility between Office and WPS, as well as for background export, but differences may still occur with complex fonts, graphics, animations, and images.

For important documents, both PPT and PDF versions should be kept.

11. File management

The workspace provides a list of all files, search functions, options for bookmarking, and a trash bin. Deleted documents can be restored from the trash bin, making it suitable for managing multiple projects.

The cloud trash bin is not a permanent backup; important files should still be exported to local storage or enterprise storage.

How to use iFlytek SmartText?

1. Register and log in to your account, then select AI PPT or AI Word.
2. Enter a topic, paste long text, or upload DOC, PDF, or TXT files;
3. Specify the audience, purpose, number of pages, tone, and information that must be included;
4. Check the outline generated by AI and adjust the order and hierarchy of the sections;
5. Select a template, colors, and page icons to create a complete document;
6. Modify the text page by page, and replace inaccurate or unauthorized images;
7. Create or modify speech drafts, and check that the notes correspond to the relevant pages;
8. Export to PPT, PDF, or Word, and conduct the final proofreading in Office and WPS.

When creating a PPT from a long text, it is recommended to first remove any unnecessary headers, footers, and repeated paragraphs, and to use clear primary and secondary headings within the text. For reports that contain data, it is best to determine first what conclusion should be conveyed on each page, and then add the verified tables and charts manually to the final presentation.

Free quota, points, and Pro membership

iFlytek SmartText uses a billing system that combines free points, Pro membership plans, and separate cards for PPT downloads. The official update logs mention new user points, applications for free points, points awarded through invitations, and points earned by logging in daily.

The quantity of items offered for free and the conditions for obtaining them are part of promotional activities; they may change depending on the account and over time. The quotas mentioned in older tutorials cannot be considered as permanent commitments.

The standard Pro plan options, whose current front-end configuration can be verified, include:

The annual and biennial plans may see changes in the number of months of subscription and the duration of the service offered, depending on events such as anniversaries. There are also several time-limited packages available at prices of 99 yuan, 119 yuan, 159 yuan, and 199 yuan. As for whether a particular promotion is applicable, the prices for existing customers versus new customers, and the actual expiration date, these should be determined based on the purchase page and order confirmation after logging in; it is not sufficient to rely solely on the statements in the promotional material stating “as low as per month”.

PPT download token

Users who do not need a long-term membership can choose download cards with a membership template. The options available on this page are 5-card and 10-card packs:

• The regular display of 5 cards costs 19.9 yuan; the page indicates that the validity period is 3 months, and the service becomes invalid after that time.
• The regular display of 10 cards costs 39.9 yuan; during promotions or on certain page versions, the validity period may be indicated as 3 months or 6 months.
• Anniversary events may offer additional download credits and change the average price per download.

The key metric for the secondary card is the number of PPT downloads; it does not equate to having full Pro benefits for an entire period. Before making a purchase, it is necessary to check whether member templates are included, when the validity period starts, whether failed downloads count toward the usage limit, and what the rules are regarding PDFs, slideshows, and repeated downloads.

The promotional price may end at any time.

What restrictions do Pro members usually help to remove?

• Pro is used to unlock more templates and download privileges, as well as to reduce restrictions on free credits or usage counts.
• The member pages at different stages may vary in terms of PPT generation, AI-generated images, speech drafts, templates, custom styles, and download permissions.
• The table of contents should not imply that the “infinity” associated with a particular activity means that all functions, all models, and all downloads are unlimited forever;
• The terms listed on the purchase page, as well as the expiration date, shall prevail.
• Individuals who occasionally create presentations can first use free credits to test the outcome, and then purchase additional cards as needed.
• Continuously preparing weekly reports, courses, or plans is more suitable for those at the monthly, quarterly, and annual levels.
• For high-frequency automated generation in businesses, the intelligent PPTAPI should be used, rather than sharing personal member accounts.

Smart PPT API

iFlytek’s open platform offers an interface for creating intelligent PPTs, enabling developers and companies to integrate PPT-related functions into their business systems. The official documentation covers parameters such as creating, retrieving, and modifying outlines based on themes or files, selecting themes, setting the author, adding automatic images, and generating covers and presentation notes.

The old version of the custom interface specified that the content of prompts and documents could not exceed 8,000 characters, and that files had to be no larger than 10 MB; moreover, it was required to choose either a file or its address. The platform now also offers a new version of this PPT interface, and the official guidelines state that the new version and the old one cannot be used together; it is recommended to use the documentation provided for the new version.

After the interface returns the task identifier, it is necessary to continue querying the outline or generating the results.

API and iFlytek SmartText Web Pro membership come with two separate systems for usage and billing. According to the examples provided in the platform’s documentation, creating a PPT based on a task incurs a certain amount of credits as well as usage of concurrent resources, while adding notes may result in additional charges.

The actual unit price, resource packages, and concurrency levels are subject to the open platform console.

Buying a website membership does not automatically grant API credits.

Is it open source?

iFlytek’s SmartText web application, Xinghuo model, PPT generation engine, template system, and API services are not open-source products; the company does not make the complete source code or model weights available for users to deploy locally. iFlytek and its partners may publish example codes or SDKs on GitHub for interface integration, but this does not mean that the SmartText products themselves are open-source.

Organizations that require privatization, restrictions on data leaving the organization’s premises, or customized enterprise templates should contact iFlytek to obtain an enterprise-specific solution; it is not possible to assume the existence of a free offline version by relying on public API examples.

Supported platforms

iFlytek SmartWrite is primarily designed for use on web browsers, allowing users to create, edit, present, and export documents there. Mobile users can also take advantage of functions such as PPT creation through the iFlytek Spark app; however, Spark and SmartWrite do not have exactly the same editing interfaces or membership systems.

Complex outlines, templates, and page-by-page adjustments are better suited for use in desktop browsers.

Which users are it suitable for

• Professional users who prepare work summaries, project plans, quarterly reviews, and performance reports;
• Teachers who prepare course materials, teaching resources, and demonstrations for class;
• Students and researchers who prepare defense presentations, share their reading experiences, and present research findings;
• Marketing and sales teams that need product descriptions, marketing strategies, and customer proposals;
• Consultants and operational staff who can quickly restructure long reports into presentation outlines;
• Cross-border teams that need draft versions of PPTs and speech texts in multiple languages;

Usage restrictions and precautions

• The most common problem with AI-generated PPTs is that the content appears complete yet lacks reliable evidence.
• Product data, market size, policy provisions, citation counts, and financial figures must be verified against the original sources.
• Automatically generated charts should not be published publicly when the source of the data is unknown.
• AI-generated images may contain errors in terms of figures, text, and brand elements, and they might also be similar to existing works.
• The use of corporate logos, customer photos, fonts, and templates requires proper authorization;
• Uploaded internal reports, contracts, and confidential data are processed in the cloud, while classified or regulated materials must comply with the organization’s data policies.
• The exported PPT needs to be checked for font replacements, image cropping, text overflow, animations, and notes;
• Important meetings should be tested on actual projection equipment, with a PDF version prepared as a backup.
• Pro memberships, points, and subscription cards may all have an expiration date; it is necessary to check the order details and the expiration date as soon as they are purchased.
