What Is Better Than Powerpoint For Presentations In 2015?

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- this is a fast rising app for non-linear presentation. It works by zooming graphics into view other than moving from one slide to the other. It offers a perfect alternative if you want to shift or relate ideas and points that are distantly placed. You will avoid the back and forth movement.

Keynote- its preference lies in the fact that it offers a short learning curve for users. This is the simplicity app users are looking for. This ease of use is however compounded by the fact that it is only available for PowerPoint clone and Mac.

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- it rivals PowerPoint to a great extent, which explains the price. The essence of a presentation is the ease in movement from one slide to the other and the ability to include details in each of these slides. With the features incorporated on Slide Rocket, you will enjoy details and a lot of clarity.

Slide Dog- this software has incorporated what may be referred to as smart features. They include addition of live polls, audience feedback and sharing the slides online without distortion. Using your mobile phone, it is possible to control the presentations remotely. You are provided with a free trial version before purchasing the ultimate app.

Haiku Deck- the app is designed for the iPad. With this, you are allowed to create slides away from your desk. The graphics and images to be included are uploaded from your gallery, taken directly from the camera or downloaded from the internet. It is only available for iPad users.

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 software allows you to scribble characters as you create slides and then bring them to life. This is an excellent way of customizing and animating your presentations. This is an intriguing aspect. There are pre-created characters to simplify your experience.
