Whether they're for clients, customers or colleagues, visual presentations are an unavoidable part of doing business. For years, Microsoft PowerPoint has been the standard bearer of slide presentation applications, but several Web-based alternatives have emerged.

不论是为客户做产品展示、向顾客兜售服务还是与同事分享工作，视觉化的演示始终是商业往来中无可或缺的一部分。多年以来在演示文稿应用方面，微软的PowerPoint一直被视作是该领域的领头羊，但与此同时我们也看到一些网络版替代方案的悄然出现。

For the most part, the alternatives offer similar functionality to PowerPoint, sometimes more, sometimes less. One obvious advantage to Web-based presentations is that they're stored in the cloud, eliminating the potential for nightmare scenarios involving lost or corrupted thumb drives.

总的来说，替代方案所提供的功能都或多或少与PowerPoint相似。在线演示的一个明显的优势在于，文稿是储存在云计算平台上的 - 这避免了诸如文稿的丢失或损坏之类的噩梦出现。

Prezi

Prezi

If the traditional slide-by-slide-style presentation doesn't quite cut it for you, there's Prezi, which works a bit more like one giant virtual whiteboard containing your entire presentation. Instead of flipping through slides, the viewer is zoomed in and out of the appropriate portions of your Prezi presentation, creating a much more animated and visually-appealing experience.

如果您觉得传统的翻页式演示不符合您的要求，那您可以大可以尝试一下Prezi。Prezi看起来就像是一个包含整个演示的巨大白板。有了它，您可以随时放大或缩小演示文稿，并以此与观众建立一个更生动、更有趣的联系。

 

SlideRocket is a collaborative, Web-based application with a really nice-looking UI (hint: it's not a visual clone of PowerPoint). Presentations made with SlideRocket can allow users to comment and answer polls in real time and its user analytics can offer hints as to the effectiveness of one slide versus another. It integrates with third parties like Google Docs and Flickr, which is great for pulling live data and content.

SlideRocket作为一种在线协作式的解决方案，有着十分美观的用户界面（请留意：它不是PowePoint的山寨版）。用SlideRocket做成的演示文稿，让用户能够实时对人们的意见给予回应和解答。此外，它的分析功能还可以告诉用户哪个页面最有效。SlideRocket与其他第三方如谷歌文稿、Flickr的整合让其提供实时数据和内容的能力变得更棒。

This is one of those Web apps that looks and feels like it's running on the desktop. 280 Slides has been compared to Apple's Keynote, which isn't a shock considering both of its founders used to work for Apple.

这个程序看起来就像是在你的电脑上运行一样。它有足足280页的文稿素材，甚至可以与Apple的Keynote相媲美。这一点其实并不奇怪，因为这两个程序的创始人都曾为Apple效力。

Sliderocket is less about collaboration and more about making slideshow presentations easy to create and share with others. Like most of its competitors, it supports importing and exporting documents to and from PowerPoint. Best of all, it's free.

Sliderocket更多的关注于如何轻松地创建和分享演示文稿，而非方案的协调。与大部分它的竞争对手一样，Sliderocket支持与PowerPoint之间文档的相互转换。最美妙的是，它是免费的~

Google Docs Presentations

谷歌演示文档

Not unlike the rest of its cloud-based office suite, the presentation builder for Google Docs is more or less a simplified clone of Microsoft's offering, but it remains a pretty solid alternative. It supports all the basics: adding text, links, graphics, videos to slides, drawing shapes, presenter notes and playback of the presentation. One limitation is that the full-screen presentation is not actually full-screen, but rather it launches a new browser window without the buttons and toolbars.

与其他以云计算为基础的办公套件不同的是，尽管谷歌演示文档只是仿照微软PowerPoint的一个简化版，但它仍可以被视作是一个有力的替换方案。这一方案支持所有的基础功能，包括添加文字、链接、图表、视频、作图、备注及文档演示等。然而它的一个缺陷是当您点击全屏查看时， 您将不会直接看到全屏，而是会另打开一个没有按键和工具栏的新窗口。

Zoho Show

Zoho演示文档

Zoho has its own answer to PowerPoint in the form of Zoho Show. Like Google Docs and others, it offers the standard functionality, but this one goes a step further by including live audio chat with presentees. It doesn't yet support exports to PowerPoint, but does enable users to import presentations from PowerPoint or OpenOffice.

Zoho对于文稿的展示有自己的想法。与谷歌文档和其他应用软件一样，Zoho提供标准的功能操作，但同时它更进一步的使听众之间的现场视频对话成为可能。尽管目前Zoho暂不支持将文件以PowerPoint的格式导出，但PowerPoint或OpenOffice格式的文稿可以成功导入Zoho。
