What Are 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: GoAnimate is another program. Think of the kind of resources and time one needs to create even a short film and the importance of animation apps like GoAnimate will become evident. With this piece of software, users can achieve film like animation effects at a far much lower cost even in regard to time required to finish creating a professional presentation. On top of it all is the ease of conveying ideas and concepts creatively and interactively using animations.

Beyond animating graphics, GoAnimate also supports audio. Characters can be given dialog by uploading voice recordings or outsourcing them. Characters automatically get built-in lip sync animations. In addition, GoAnimate offers a variety of music and sound effects bringing animations to life.

VideoScribe: VideoScribe is behind the Whiteboard animations which have become quite popular across the Web. The original idea behind these animations was to satisfy a small niche. On the contrary, VideoScribe which is behind this style of presentations has earned a huge following which is clearly testifies about the effectiveness whiteboard animations.

VideoScribe allows users to make use of pre-drawn and pre-animated images which are put together in a way that best suits ones presentation and then turns the whole thing into a slick little animation. So where GoAnimate creates a cartoon-style video, VideoScribe uses similar graphics that which will be drawn on-screen during the presentation with a real hand. Hence giving the feeling of someone sketch noting a presentation.

It is amazingly simple to put together a VideoScribe . A user drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, and then let the app do its own magic. The impact this kind of presentations have upon an audience is great especially if PowerPoint presentation was their expectation.

Powtoon: Think of stimulating ones audience with great pitch, emotional hooks and a story and think of Powtoon as the way to go. Animated characters are used to create a story to tell instead of facts to present as it is in the case of PowerPoint presentations. Easy modifications to Powtoon will get one creating a short animated video for presenting.

Google Docs: Most individuals have a Google account which is free as well as Google Docs. Considering the ability to collaborate with others on the same projects is also very convenient for one to complete working on presentations in cases where teamwork is vital. Presentations can also be easily customized with images and text as well as importing of slides and videos. Sharing presentations with other people for downloading is also an option. Lastly, since importing PowerPoint files is n option, the work of recreating presentations already in PowerPoint will not be necessary.
