AvarPoint

If you are aware that your PowerPoint presentations lack the wow factor, an application such as AvarPoint could be a solution to your problem.

That is because the program presents you with an avatar that is capable of holding the presentation for you, provided that you indicate the text that should be converted to speech.

First off, just by taking a glimpse into the software utility’s user interface, you should be able to see that it is designed in a way that could cater to the needs of a wide array of users. You need to start by typing the text the avatar would read by accessing the “Script” window.

In case you want to customize various aspect related to the avatar, you can rest assured that you can do that too. As such, the application allows you to change the avatar’s position, modify the zoom, and adjust the lights. Moreover, choosing between a female and male voice is possible, and indicating the optimal volume is a given.

Aside from that, two different options are offered as far as the background is concerned, and allowing or restricting mouth and body movements offers you even more control over the avatar.

Once provided with the text, the avatar starts lip-syncing, and corroborated with your PowerPoint presentation, it results in a pretty dynamic project, which is a great alternative especially if you don’t want to use your own voice.

All things considered, AvarPoint is a nice tool you could employ in order to make your PowerPoint presentations stand out from the crowd. While the program is intuitive, the amount of customizations you can apply especially to the avatar’s appearance are limited, but maybe updates will cover this aspect in the future.
