Say goodbye to the tedious process of typing out flashcards. Present Pal V6 allows you to create flashcards using your voice effortlessly. Speak your thoughts or paste your notes and your words will be transformed into concise, effective talking points.
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…
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.

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

Public speaking can be anxiety-inducing for the best of us, but couple that with the dilemma of understanding the assignment, and it can feel really overwhelming. Especially for those of us who have disabilities or learning differences, it’s super important for us to feel confident in how we are going to approach a task. Luckily, the Present Pal team have got our back. Here’s our guide for understanding the assignment brief, to set you up for success.
Struggling to get started with your presentation? We’ve all been there. Especially for the more nervous among us (*stares in fidget spinner*) it can feel like a mammoth task to begin a presentation, never mind structure it, plan it, and deliver it. Here are three ways to kickstart building your presentation, and overcome that procrastination temptation.
You hear the lecturer bellow those terrifying words: does anyone have any questions? You’ve completely forgotten about this part, and you don’t know what to do. Sometimes the most challenging element of a presentation can be the Q&A. But it can also be the most impressive, if you’re prepared. Here’s some pointers from the Present Pal team…
Alongside creating a killer presentation with excellent content, your delivery is just as important. Rehearsing is a key part of this process, and helps massively with presentation nerves. Instead of focussing on memorising your content (which isn’t a great method once you forget something) focus on practicing it. Here are three presentation rehearsal techniques to help you up your game.
Everyone’s learning style is different and, especially when you have a disability or are neurodivergent, finding the best ways that you learn is crucial for meeting your needs in your educational development. So before you get started with your presentation, it’s important to find out which learning model suits you best, to alleviate some anxiety and give you the best chances of presentation success.
Today, we’re excited to announce Present Pal V3 — an app to help individuals excel in communication tasks in education, the workplace and beyond. Present Pal has been rebuilt from the ground up to make it even easier for our users to create their notes, rehearse their content and present it confidently.
