Save captions to file
When I use the speech recognition feature to provide real-time captions of my presentation, I want to have the complete transcript available to edit and use afterwards.

Create & make available 100 individual audio files saying "slide 1", "slide 2", "slide 100"
Blind user of PowerPoint desires to be able to know what slide is being presented to an audience, and whether or not the next slide has advanced correctly, or advanced too many slides. PowerPoint allows for the insertion into a slide, of an audio file ("slide 3", "slide 4", "slide 100") which can "autoplay" upon the slide be opened.
