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: When it comes to nonlinear presentations, Prezi is an excellent web app that comes in handy. Not only is it simple to use, but also comes with an interface that still preserves the traditional slide layout most users are familiar with while giving one the simple tools required for formatting text and doing much more. Being a web app, Prezi offers the flexibility of being able to access an individuals work from any computer, and collaborate with others on the same presentation.

GoAnimate: Just like it is with any filming, hand-animated videos are time-demanding and hard to make. Let alone the expensive equipment required for the task. That is where animation apps come in to the rescue. With GoAnimate, users do not just get similar animation effects, but also realize its a far cheaper and time saving option. This makes GoAnimate perfect for presenting information one would have struggled to explain with a PowerPoint slide deck.

Beyond animating graphics, GoAnimate also supports audio. Characters can be given dialog by uploading voice recordings or outsourcing them. Characters automatically get built-in lip sync animations. In addition, GoAnimate offers a variety of music and sound effects bringing animations to life.

VideoScribe: VideoScribe is behind the Whiteboard animations which have become quite popular across the Web. The original idea behind these animations was to satisfy a small niche. On the contrary, VideoScribe which is behind this style of presentations has earned a huge following which is clearly testifies about the effectiveness whiteboard animations.

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.

It is amazingly simple to put together a VideoScribe . A user drags and drops pre-made graphics into the storyboard, and then let the app do its own magic. The impact this kind of presentations have upon an audience is great especially if PowerPoint presentation was their expectation.

Powtoon: Powtoon is necessary when in need of arousing the audience with great pitch and emotional hooks alongside an interesting short story, Powtoon presents the user with all the tools needed for the job. A story is created using animated characters. With a few and easy modifications to Powtoon, one can start creating a short animated video for use as a presentation.

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.
