PowerPoint and Presenting Stuff

NXPowerLite 3 Review

Friday, March 30, 2007, posted by Geetesh Bajaj at 8:32 am

PowerPoint and other Microsoft Office programs like Word and Excel allow you to insert all sorts of media files including high-resolution pictures, animated clips, and other formats. And you can often copy and paste almost anything within these applications. The result is that presentations, documents, and spreadsheets get bloated — a huge complication if you need to store and share many of these files.

NXPowerLite, the product we are reviewing, optimizes the size of these files without compromising their content or quality — thus making them easier to store and share.

W2solutions announced the release of HeadsetPresenter 3.0, a simple program that turns any Bluetooth headset into a Windows application remote control suitable for controlling onscreen activities including PowerPoint presentations.

Some of the new features are:

Control any Windows application with the buttons on the headset. HeadsetPresenter comes pre-configured with the most common applications like PowerPoint, Open Office, Windows Media Player, Winamp, and iTunes. However, users can easily add custom applications to control.
Integrated speech recognition capabilities. As a complement to controlling applications with the headset buttons the user can give direct voice control commands through the headset.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) support. If a multimedia headset is available, all buttons for instance Play, Stop, Pause, FFWD, and REW can be used to perform any given action in any given application, not only in media players.
