Knovio Reinvents the Power Point Presentation
July 28, 2011
We have noticed that finding PowerPoint presentations online is becoming more of a challenge. We think that the emergence of alternative services such as Slideshare.net is having an impact. Searching remains a bit of a challenge. When we were looking for information about PowerPoint presentations online, we came across an interesting new tool now available in Beta: Knovio aims to elevate the Power Point presentation. Right now the project is incomplete, and you can participate in the Beta program through a link on the home page.
The application, created by KnowledgeVision, lets you add video to any Power Point slide show. Knovio’s About page elaborates:
Knovio™ is an innovative tool for turning PowerPoint® slides into rich video presentations with just a web browser and webcam. With Knovio, you can take static PowerPoint slides to a new level with video and audio presentations that can be accessed anytime on-demand and shared with others through email and social media.
The explanatory video on their Web site also serves as an example of their creation.
It’s a good idea: you can include your verbal and gestural input without having to schedule a meeting. Also, anything to liven up Power Point has to be progress, right?
KnowledgeVision hopes to keep a free version of Knovio available, while eventually offering a premium version through monthly subscription. The company is asking for feedback. We offered to provide some inputs. You may want to consider this step as well.

Thanks for writing about Knovio, Cynthia. As the creators of Knovio, we’re very excited about the applications we’re already seeing during the private beta test: from entrepreneurs creating 3-minute pitches to potential investors to teachers planning to build it into their curriculum this fall, to any number of people creating simple “how-to” videos.
The interesting thing about Knovio is that it’s built on an enterprise-grade platform that’s been around for several years called KnowledgeVision (Knovio is actually an abbreviation of KnowledgeVision)…and was really designed as a personal version of an application that’s being used by a whole lot of big technology, healthcare, financial services, education, and non-profit organizations to create large online content collections.
Since it’s got a much larger-scale infrastructure behind it, you can look for Knovio to grow in capability over time, and our testers are helping us define just what kinds of capabilities belong in a personal online video presentation tool.
We’re looking for more testers who will put Knovio through its paces and let us know what they like, don’t like, and what they’d like to see us put in. We invite your readers to come give it a spin at http://www.knovio.com
