Conclusion
VisualBee is a PowerPoint add-in that automatically enhances your slides using an easy to use wizard based interface. To do this, VisualBee analyzes your slide content and selects appropriate images, layouts and templates to do an instant makeover. You can enrich your PowerPoint presentation from the VisualBee's design bank or your own library. Your original presentation remains unchanged, and you can re-enhance the presentation again and have a complete control over your final presentation.
Do remember though that VisualBee itself does not cost you anything -- but any makeovers you do entail purchasing of assets such as images --
we detail this process later in this review. For the final presentation, you can review each slide and modify its content and design by choosing
alternative images, change the colors, or modify the layouts.
The add-in is created by VisualBee.com, a company based in Israel. You can learn more about VisualBee
from their site.
My contact at VisualBee.com for this review was Nevo Lederman - thank you, Nevo.
BackDownload the installer from their site, run the setup routine, and follow the instructions. The add-in is for 32 bit versions of Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and PowerPoint 2010 only. Follow these steps to use VisualBee:
VisualBee is free but not really a free application -- you just need assets for your enhanced presentation -- however at the time of the review each new user was provided with $20 of free credit. You can choose whether to buy fixed amounts or insert any amount greater than $9.90. You can even opt for a monthly subscription.
Support options are extensive and include email support, FAQ, forum, and user guides.
BackVisualBee is a great concept and well implemented -- yet don't expect it to be the solution to all PowerPoint problems. Even with the pictures that VisualBee adds, the algorithms are based on machines rather than humans -- so if a word in your presentation has two meanings, you might see pictures you would not expect to see! Fortunately, you can change pictures too.
In conclusion, VisualBee is a great tool but always use your own creativity to make it work better for you.
