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: 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.

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: 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: 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: One of the most obvious advantage is that almost everyone has a Google account these days, hence access to Google Docs! Even though it may not be overwhelmingly far better than PowerPoint, it is has many advantages over it. Let alone being absolutely free, presentations are easily customized with text, images, imported slides and videos. Running on the cloud is also a plus since collaboration is easy on shared documents with other people. Ones presentation can also be downloaded as a PowerPoint file or shared through a link.
