Professional presentations using another great iPhone App
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 3:32 PM Do you want to look even more professional when delivering your presentations?
Sick of cue cards either getting out of sequences or worse still dropping them on the floor?
That is all a thing of the past. As regular readers know I love my iPhone and I have discovered another great App, called AutoCue by Softalk Ltd.
This App turns your iPhone into a teleprompter, thus enabling you to deliver your speeches fluently. It is designed to help you project a natural speaking style yet have everything written down. You could use it for a company presentation of assist you with delivering a speech at a wedding or an awards ceremony.
You can write your speech directly on your iPhone in the App or write it using your Mac or PC and save it in a 'UTF-8 .txt' format then transfer it onto your device. When you select your topic it will then slowly scroll through your speech. You have full control and can pause, fast forward or reverse all by either the on screen buttons or simply use the familiar swipe technique you have come to love when using your other iPhone Apps.
There are a variety of colours and font sizes to choose from and you can adjust the speed at which the text scrolls. This great App also gives you an estimate of the length of your speech and where you are up to in your delivery. It even has a mirror option for true teleprompter usage, like US President Barrack Obama used at his Inauguration Speech.
For more information be sure to check out AutoCue.

Who would have thought that writing about the things I like would receive commendation from it's creators.
The nice people at Softtalk have referenced this piece on their own blog.

I am just blown away!
Whoops, AutoCue appears to have disappeared from the app store.
