Comments from those who selected it as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • Useful for adding audio to a PowerPoint presentation and outputting Flash for the web. It is actually very similar to Articulate Presenter, as both are plugins for PowerPoint and they have nearly identical feature sets. But I prefer Adobe Presenter, for several reasons, but in part because its interfaces are similar to Adobe Captivate — so once you learn one, you are well on your way to learning the other.”  Thomas Stone
