ActivePresenter - Create software demos & simulations instantly!

ActivePresenter is an advanced presentation tool, designed especially for computer software simulations, with blazing fast, smart screen capture technology; a powerful authoring environment and the ability to create high-quality AJAX or Adobe Flash interactive simulations.

ActivePresenter can help when you need to:

• Show how software applications or IT systems work visually and interactively
• Create software demos which require only a web browser to run, on any platform
• Create interactive tutorials or software manuals with audio narations
• Create eye-catching and professionally-looking interactive presentations for viewing on the web

With its smart and fast screen capture ability, ActivePresenter reproduces your on-screen activity and records in video, sound, image or text formats within few minutes. Coupled with a powerful yet easy-to-use authoring environment, you can easily create advanced simulations, scenarios, quizzes or online documentation just by operating on target application and let ActivePresenter do the jobs for you. No programming or multimedia skills needed.

With SCORM support, you can also pack your outputs to import and use in most modern Learning Management Systems (LMS, e.g. Moodle, Dokeos, Sakai ...). ActivePresenter supports both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 standards.

You can create Screenshot projects (record screenshots as you go), Image projects (using existing images you have created), Blank projects (using blank slides on which you can manually insert the information you need) or reuse your Powerpoint slides by converting them to ActivePresenter projects.

Demonstration and simulation are the best ways to understand a new IT system intuitively. With ActivePresenter you can easily create slick presentations and simulations of software operations within minutes. All you have to do is just start ActivePresenter, and then operate yourself normally the software application that you want to create simulations for as if you are using it, ActivePresenter will automatically record all your mouse/keyboard operations along with screenshots and compile them into a project that's ready for publishing.

You can then review and make changes to recorded project, adding visual annotations, audio narration with a feature-rich and easy-to-use editor.

Once finish, just choose the output format that you want to export to. This can be demonstration VIDEO (WMV, MPEG4/MP4, AVI) / FLASHVIDEO (FLV, SWF), HTML Slideshow, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe PDF manual, Microsoft Powerpoint presentation or even AJAX/Flash simulation.
