Excellent app that I love to create professional presentations. The Best think is that you can add a tracking when you share it, so you can check who opens it and who doesn't.
Are you a new user that made a mistake using our flawed software. Well pay us more so you can remake your presentation from scratch.
The slide deck templates from famous companies are priceless. Building on top of these forces you to do thorough research where you may have left holes and results in a deck with the wow factor.
Pay as you go power point slide is completely useless as it only exports an image to Power Point and you can't edit it.
Slidebean is super easy to use but the best part is how "slick" your presentations look. PLUS you can share and track your presentation with others.
The website is very very unstable. I am creating a deck for my company so I paid for an annual membership.
If you don't have the budget to hire a graphic designer, slidebean is the perfect solution for you. Slidebean provides amazing pitch deck templates that you can easily modify.
I had a problem with the shared presentation: Scrolling through it with the keyboard arrows or with the arrows blow the slides doesn't function. The only way is to swipe with the mouse back and forth.
It is with Synthesia, a wonderful option for anyone who also likes to work with avatars. Fast, reliable and in good quality, this is making video creation as easy as possible.
But honestly, the only thing I dislike about Synthesia is the fact that I stumbled upon it just recently. Seriously, Synthesia, where have you been hiding for my professional career.
Very good and very impressed. I will look to use this again soon and I will also look to experiment with some of the more advanced features next time.
Hmm, Sometimes the Ai voice can sound a bit robotic and might have bad pronunciation.
The platform is very easy to use and very intuitive. The avatars/presenters are very good and the broad selection of voices is amazing.
It seemed that different actors would have trouble pronouncing some words while others did not.
Very positive experience and good customer support so far. Seems like they are continuously adding more avatars too, which I appreciate.
I believe it could be my own lack of skills as a force here, but I did have trouble manipulating the diction to achieve proper pronunciation of some words.
James M.: Hi, my name's James. I'm the CEO and co-founder of a startup. I give Slidebean a two out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Yeah, so before we used Slidebean, we'd also used Beautiful.ai, Google Slides, PowerPoint, and since Slidebean we're currently using Canva. Yeah, so we chose Slidebean, because they had the option to develop startup-specific pitch decks. So previously we'd used just the software, and that was okay, but we really wanted to utilize their experience as a startup and [inaudible 00:00:42] with investors to develop an investor-specific pitch deck. However, that experience itself wasn't great. Yeah, the process to get started with Slidebean was quite easy to start off with. We had an interview with one of the UX researchers who got a bit of our background about our startup and then put together our story. Also shared a lot of our information and assets with Slidebean, however, the next step was really difficult. So when that information got passed onto the designers, that's when we started to see some serious issues regarding the quality of the work. For anyone that's looking to use Slidebean, I definitely recommend it if you're just looking at a quick software to get started and utilize yourself. I wouldn't utilize any of their more advanced features, so paying for the pitch deck reviews and the financial tables. That stuff was really basic, and the quality of their designers and consultants are quite low. They generally use people in developing countries that don't really understand the startup space. So I'd recommend potentially using Canva or even Slidebean, and then taking your MVP deck to someone on freelance or someone on Upwork who has had experience with startup pitch decks in your industry.
