Anoto Announces Availability of Anoto penPresenter, Bringing Digital Pen Technology to Microsoft PowerPoint
New digital pen product creates unique ways to enhance presentations, improve meeting collaboration, and save whiteboard notes digitally
Lund, Sweden and Westborough, Mass. (PRWEB) May 11, 2009
Anoto Group, the inventor of Digital Pen and Paper technology, today announced Anoto penPresenter, a unique PowerPoint add-in which brings the mobile, real time capabilities of digital pen technology to slide show presentations through Bluetooth technology. Anoto penPresenter enhances presentations by allowing presenters to make notes, highlights and sketches on their slides that are viewed in real time as they present. All notes written on PowerPoint slides can then be saved digitally and distributed after the meeting, something not possible with ordinary whiteboard notes. Anoto penPresenter is available immediately through selected resellers, which are listed at www. penpresenter. com.
Anoto penPresenter is a unique way to keep audiences engaged, encourage collaboration, and save all whiteboard notes after the meeting. Users simply print slideshows or blank PowerPoint slides through the Anoto penPresenter software, and then use the Anoto digital pen to write notes or sketch on the printed presentation which is projected in real time to either an LCD projector or a standard computer monitor. After the presentation, Anoto penPresenter automatically saves all notes in the PowerPoint file, removing the need for post-meeting data entry, making sharing and distribution of the meeting notes quick and easy.
Key benefits of Anoto penPresenter include:
Enhanced presentations: Anoto penPresenter provides a wide range of tools that allow presenters to highlight aspects of their presentations and make their slide shows dynamic and interesting. Anoto penPresenter keeps audiences engaged. Convenience: No more transcribing notes or taking camera shots of whiteboards. Using Anoto penPresenter as a brainstorming or collaboration tool allows you to instantly save every word digitally. Ease of Use: The Anoto digital pen is just like using any ball-point pen. There's no special technology to learn. Meeting participants or students can contribute to the meeting or classroom notes right from their seats - no more stretching to reach the top of a whiteboard or markers running out of ink. Portability: Anoto penPresenter is Bluetooth enabled and can be used wherever there is a projector or monitor, enabling users to move from room-to-room. "Anoto penPresenter is perfect for anyone who wants more dynamic presentations or more productive meetings without the hassle of transcribing notes," said Ebba Åsly Fåhraeus, VP Sales Marketing Forms with Anoto. "Whether you're in the boardroom or the classroom, Anoto penPresenter makes it easy for more people to interact and collaborate, eliminating passive participation."
