Introducing the new Live Editor update!

 

At Present Pal we’ve long prided ourselves on creating an app that champions accessibility and empowers people in communication tasks in education, the workplace and beyond. We always look to continuously improve our suite to meet this, take a look at our brand new Live Editor feature part of the integrations family in our Present Pal suite!

Find out how we improved this new feature and how it elevates the user experience…

Goodbye to awkward pauses…hello to seamless transitions!

Our new Live Editor update means students will enjoy a smoother and more controlled experience when using the Present Pal PowerPoint Add-In, allowing users to create their presentation flashcards and PowerPoint slides side by side in real-time. 

This will make presentation prep seamless and make it easier for users to connect with the audience. The major benefit of this update is that you can create your digital flashcards on-the-go which will automatically sync to your smartphone, so you can work from anywhere, anytime, which improves the accessibility of the app.

Our interface has also had a makeover which makes the creation of presentation notes more effortless, meaning you can control your PowerPoint slides easily with your smartphone. 

This feature makes creating your presentation notes straightforward, while reducing the cognitive load of planning and creating your slides and notes, offering a user experience that alleviates some of the stress and anxiety that goes into preparing a communication task. This is particularly useful for neurodiverse students, as the Live Editor feature helps you to focus and avoid task paralysis while increasing your confidence as you feel more in control of your presentation.

Why was the Live Editor updated?

Our tech team received some feedback from our users about the integration of PowerPoint slides and how this experience could be made more seamless, so our tech team naturally got to work. 

“We could really see the need for a feature upgrade around how the mobile app and the PowerPoint app communicate”

- Jamie, Tech Developer and Lead on the Live Editor feature
