authorPOINT Lite, a free PowerPoint to Flash converter has been released by authorGEN, the company that specializes in e-learning and presentation software. This presentation creation tool is very easy-to-use and can also perform batch conversion of multiple .pps and .ppt files.

authorPOINT Lite, the free PowerPoint to Flash converter from authorGEN offers tremendous value to users with a simple and intuitive interface and excellent presentation conversion quality.
authorPOINT Lite retains most PowerPoint effects including animations and sounds without any loss in presentation quality in the Flash (.swf) output. Flash presentations have a number of advantages over PowerPoint format as Flash files are lighter, more secure, multiple browser and operating system compatible.

One of the prominent features of authorPOINT Lite is the ability to upload presentations to http://www.authorstream.com , a free presentation sharing website. Presentations are hosted free on authorSTREAM and authors can get a unique URL for every presentation, which can be used to share or embed in blogs, profiles and other websites.

Umesh Sharma, the product lead of authorPOINT, points out that there was a big demand for a free PowerPoint to Flash conversion tool with a minimal but excellent quality feature set for quickly batch converting PowerPoint presentations. “We created authorPOINT Lite with that in mind by offering only the most used features and options for a quick conversion to Flash. Harman Singh, the CEO of authorGEN Technologies, added that a forum will soon be added on the authorGEN site for authorPOINT Lite to get user feedback and suggestions; this would enable the team to offer more functionality in future releases.
