Which Are Alternative Programs Better Than Powerpoint

By Tammie Caldwell


Any form of presentations, be it idea pitches or sales presentations have been done mostly by means of PowerPoint since it was launched by Microsoft. Businesses have had no programs better than PowerPoint.

Prezi : Nonlinear presentations can be easily tackled using Prezi, which is an excellent web app. In addition to its simplicity when using, it also has an interface similar to the traditional slide layout that which most users are used to. The simple tools needed for formatting text and other forms of editing are also part of the package. Prezi allows a user to access presentations from any computer since it is a web app. Collaborating on the same presentation with others is also made possible as a result.

GoAnimate: Just like it is with any filming, hand-animated videos are time-demanding and hard to make. Let alone the expensive equipment required for the task. That is where animation apps come in to the rescue. With GoAnimate, users do not just get similar animation effects, but also realize its a far cheaper and time saving option. This makes GoAnimate perfect for presenting information one would have struggled to explain with a PowerPoint slide deck.

Audio support means the user can also produce his or her own characters with dialog using customized voice recordings. Commercially available voices are also available on the web. Built-in lip sync greatly helps achieve a more realistic and life-like characters. In addition, featured music and sound effects add more excitement to presentations hence capturing the full attention of the audience.

VideoScribe: At first only a small market segment was expected to embrace this software. However, it has gained so much support as in the name of the popularly known whiteboard animations across the Web.

Pre-drawn and pre-animated images are presented to the user for assembling in a manner that he or she likes in order to create a presentation which ends up into a slick little animation. GoAnimate presentations results in a cartoon-style video while VideoScribe uses the same graphics to come up with a draw on-screen like presentation, whereby a real hand sketches the graphics as one goes along. This creates a feeling of someone sketching a presentation.

Since it is simple to use, presentations can be created without struggle and need for dedicating hours to the projects. One simply drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, and leaves the rest of the job to the software to handle. Within a few minutes, the audience will be enjoying a well done presentation.

Powtoon: With Powtoon, one looks forward to inspire an audience with a great pitch, emotional hooks and a story. With animated characters, one uses a story telling rather than fact telling. Most importantly, with a few modifications a user can create short animated video clips for use during presentations. So with the ease of learning how to use it, this software is a great relief to businesses and individuals in need of creating presentations that are different and engaging.

Google Docs help individuals create and edit presentations for free and easily. One also enjoys the convenience of collaborating with other individuals on the same projects. The ease of customizing images and text as well as importing of slides and videos from PowerPoint adds more valuable features to the list. It is possible to easily share presentations with the audience.
