Tweet 9Slides: Create online interactive synchronized presentations

9Slides.com is an online tool which lets you create interactive synchronized presentations. You can sync pre-recorded audio or video with a presentation and post it to your blog or share the URL with your audience. 9Slides is quite similar to Present.me and also have a pro version which offers analytics, privacy settings and unlimited captures. Live capture use case has been part of lot of PowerPoint plug-ins like Articulate, authorPOINT or Microsoft producer and PowerPoint users have been using it to create multimedia presentations and class lectures. While all those plug-ins or software are available for one time payment, 9slides.com and Present.me offer online services on a subscription based model.


Though recurring payments can boggle some minds, yet you can't ignore the advantages like presentation statistics, embeds, privacy control, direct web link, branding and reach to wider set of audience.

Tweet Present.me launched: Create synchronized presentations online

Last year we talked about Present.me an online tool for creating synchronized presentations which was in beta then. Present.me is like any other tool that helps you create synchronized multimedia presentation with a difference that while others are desktop plug-ins, Present.me is an online tool.

We reviewed the software and found few advantages and few shortcomings like cost, no option to synchronize presentations with pre-recorded videos etc.

Present.me has been launched officially today. Most of the things which were of concern have been taken care of. The pricing has been revised and now it make much sense for people to go for $9/mo or $39/mo plan as compared to the ones listed on website in September last year. Now Present.me supports pre-recorded videos as well.


For those who wonder what synchronized multimedia presentations are, see one below:


Best thing about Present.me is that output works on all browsers and all devices including iPad.

Tweet Record and share synchronized presentations online with Present.me

Present.me is another product which lets you create synchronized multimedia presentations and share it online. Using Present.me you can create presentations with audio/video of presenter playing along with slides. There are already products like Articulate Presenter, authorPOINT from authorSTREAM and Microsoft Producer which lets you record and share synchronized presentations.



The major difference between Present.me and other products is that Present.me lets you do all the recording, synchronization and editing online on Present.me website. The whole process from uploading the PowerPoint presentation, recording, synchronizing the video or audio to sharing is quite simple.

Few shortcomings:

• You can't synchronize pre-recorded audio or video with PowerPoint slides
• You can't download the output and share it via DVD
• Maximum 90 minute limit to recording even in paid account which costs $100 /month

Though the idea of creating synchronized presentations online is superb, yet  it seems to bit costly as far as monthly subscription is concerned. You can get life time access of Articulate Presenter for $699 or authorPOINT for just $299 with an option of $99 for education use. Present.me should also come up with pay as you go payment model say $3 per such  recording.


By and large authorSTREAM + authorPOINT seems to be a better option since it allows you to create synchronized presentations with live or pre-recorded media both and also lets you share the synchronized  output via DVD, email or through authorSTREAM.com. You should give a try to Present.me and decide yourself depending upon your own user experience.
