Adobe Captivate


I have recently started to learn captivate. It is a program where you can create interactive presentations and software simulation.

The interactive presentations can be taken from a PowerPoint presentation. Captivate lets you add interactivity, with text boxes and even a voice over option. Quiz slides can be created in the middle of the project so it will involve the viewer.

A software simulation is a video or picture of what is happening on the screen. This could be a tutorial. It is a great way to show the viewer how to use a product or produce things in programs.

It is a great resource for a technical writer. The writer is still able to present ideas without having pages of plain text or a video the watcher will not listen to.
