PresenterPad(TM) 1.05 Online Demo

PresenterPad is the world's first truly portable teleprompter and slide manager.  PresenterPad allows you to organize and deliver speeches and slide shows in the most efficient, effective way possible, by keeping all your presentation information at your fingertips.  With PresenterPad you can edit presentations on your Newton, or use Newton Connection to exchange presentation information between the Newton and your Macintosh or Windows computer.  It's great for executives, educators, politicians, lawyers--anyone who ever speaks to a group of people.

The Teleprompter view helps you deliver pre-scripted speeches flawlessly.  Customize your speech to your own presentation style, by setting the scrolling speed to the pace most comfortable for you.  A set of timers will tell you at a glance whether you are ahead of or behind schedule.  Oversize buttons let you speed up or slow down with the touch of a finger.  

Slide Manager is designed to streamline your slide presentations.  It displays your notes slide by slide, and allows you to add comments as new ideas occur to you.  The timer panel helps you keep to your desired pace, and allot the right amount of time to each slide, so you'll never have to rush through key points after spending too much time on irrelevant topics.  PresenterPad can even control your slide equipment using the Newton's infrared beam, in conjunction with SlideLink, an infrared hardware accessory now available from Avalon. SlideLink works with Macintosh and Windows-based presentation packages such as Persuasion and PowerPoint.  

The PresenterPad Demo is designed to be a brief "tour" of PresenterPad's unique features.
