Which Are Alternative Programs Better Than Powerpoint

By Tammie Caldwell


Presentations have for so long been executed mostly by means of Microsoft owned PowerPoint. Not until the recent past, did programs better than PowerPoint become available for getting the same job done in a better and a more creative manner.

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 : Hand-animated videos consume lots of time to make since they are difficult to make. On the other hand, expensive equipment might also be necessary to get the job done. GoAnimate proves to be a useful software in such situations. Not only will it offer the user with film like animation effects, but also cuts down the cost and time needed to make professional presentations.

With the much needed audio support, GoAnimate can also produce characters which are given dialog using voice recordings of the user, or commercially available recordings through professionals offering similar services. Built-in lip sync gives characters more life. Music and sound effects offer more creative ways of getting presentations to be more interesting and interactive.

VideoScribe: Even though it started by securing a little niche for itself, VideoScribe has gained popularity as it is evident by those fancy whiteboard animations that have become a huge hit across the Web.

Using pre-drawn and pre-animated images which the user puts together, one can create a presentation which ends up into a slick little animation. The result is an on-screen like presentation whereby a real hand sketches the story as the presentation runs.

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: 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.
