What Is Better Than Powerpoint For Presentations?

By Enid Hinton


The popularity of PowerPoint cannot be disputed but the market share is quickly being eroded. The new applications seek to capitalize on other operating systems other than windows as well as offer alternatives for graphics and idea pitching. That said, what is better than PowerPoint for presentations? The list is based on the options offered by the alternative software and how these options make presentation easier.

Powtoon- it simplifies the storyline and makes facts easier to understand and relate for the audience. The attachment of graphics and emotions makes it better and smarter compared to the traditional MS software. The audience is inspired by animation which also leaves an impression beyond capturing their attention. By a simple tap, your presentation is converted into a video.

Prezi- it is an ideal app for making non-linear presentations. It works by tapping the graphics you need to highlight and zooming them into active view. Everything is visible on the screen for easy picking. Ideas that are not linearly related are best presented using this software. It offers quick access without the need for back and forth movement.

Keynote- the learning curve for the user is very short with a simplified interface. This endears it to users, an aspect that is increasing its popularity. Its use is limited by the fact that it is designed for Mac computers and PowerPoint clones.

Prezentit- the software is still in the alpha stage and therefore yet to be fully commercialized. However, it has caught the attention of presentation specialists because of its impressive transition through slides. Bullets remain intact and so do the other features in case of a continuation. It works online at no charge.

Slide Rocket- This is a premium software that is giving PowerPoint a lot of competition. Presentations are supposed to simplify ideas, and that is what Slide Rocket does. It offers more graphics and features making the presentation detailed, easy to follow and enjoyable. The features improve on clarity which enriches your presentation.

Slide Dog- the popularity of this app is attributed to the fact that it has admirable smart features. These features include provision for real time audience feedback, online sharing as well as live polls. It also allows you to control the presentation using your phone as the remote. The online trial version is an indication of confidence in the app by the developers.

Haiku Deck- this is an app for iPad users. It allows you to carry your gadget anywhere and create slides while on move within minutes. The images to be included in the slides are uploaded from the web, gallery and even taken directly on location. The app does an excellent job but can only be used on iPad.

Raw Shorts- it is for presentations where a lot of videos are required. The interfaces are instinctive without the need for extensive tutorial. It is the best option when you want to upload the presentation on to blogs, websites, YouTube and other channels.

Sparkol Videoscribe- the app is a perfect tool for adding graphics and characters into your presentation. These characters are then animated to create a custom and intriguing presentation for your audience. It also comes with the option of attaching the pre-scribbled characters and modifying them slightly to fit your idea.
