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: Prezi executes nonlinear presentations. While being an excellent web app, it is considerably simple to use and the interface is one which is quite familiar since it resembles the traditional slide layout the user is used to. Packed with simple tools for formatting text, images and other kinds of editing, Prezi is worth the credit. As a web-based application, Prezi allows users to access and carry on with their work and presentations from any computer. Collaboration on the same project is also an added feature one will consider worth paying attention to.

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.

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: 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.

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.

VideoScribe is incredibly simple to use and its presentations can be likewise created easily. As the user simply drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, the presentation gets generated by the software. Given a few minutes, one has a ready-made presentation for the audience.

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: 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.
