Give Presentations like a Pro

Using a remote for your presentations allows you to move around and give more natural and captivating presentations.  Walk around, keep eye contact with your audience, and use your arms and legs to convey your message.  

Presentations Applications

There are many applications for giving presentations using a Mac. Most people use Keynote or PowerPoint. Many use Preview, Acrobat or Adobe Reader to give presentations with PDF. Others use VoodooPad or NeoOffice.

Sofa Control supports them all. Flip through your presentation regardless of the application you prefer. All applications share the same behavior when controlled via Sofa Control. Clicking to the next slide in Powerpoint works the same way as switching to the next page in your PDF presentation with Acrobat Professional. 

Mouse Light

Want to highlight something in your presentation? Forget your laser pointer. With Sofa Control your remote control becomes a light beam. Highlight the mouse pointer and steer it with Sofa Control. 
Boinx Mouseposé is supported as well if you need a professional light. 

Keynote Recorder

Have you ever wanted to record your presentation or the comments and questions from your audience for future reference? It's easy to adopt Sofa Control scripts for these kind of things. Check out the Keynote Recorder script which triggers an audio recording using Quicktime when you hold the play button - without leaving your presentation.
