presentation software

Digital lecture tool

Presentation software is a computer application for creating visual slideshows, typically combining text, images, and graphics to accompany speeches or lectures.

Microsoft PowerPoint dominates the category, making PowerPoint nearly synonymous with the concept: Can you put together a PowerPoint for the meeting?

Presentations often follow predictable formats—bullet points, stock photos, transitional animations—giving rise to the phrase death by PowerPoint for tedious, slide-heavy meetings.
