Novatrox is proud to present the first beta release of IntelliSlide(TM). IntelliSlide is released as part of Slide Executive xPoint v3.5.
The purpose of IntelliSlide is to provide the user with suggested slides, similar to what the user is currently creating. As the user starts typing words on his new slide, the IntelliSlide engine will automatically present similar slides to the user based on the available slide libraries.
The IntelliSlide(TM) engine will show slides not only from the local and the company slide library, if available, but also slides from the internet. If someone has made a good, usable slide before, there won’t be a way of missing it; potentially saving users time by avoiding the re-making of slides.
In this first version slides are presented visually to the user.
