Review of Prezi

Prezi Reviewed 16 May 2012 · Average score 37%

Summary

Prezi is an inaccessible service being designed to be used in Adobe Flash Player. It is unfortunates that keyboard or switch access is not possible and most elements are not read aloud by a screenreader. However, Prezi does offer many personalisation options in terms of colours, fonts and background. It zooms easily and allows users to see an entire overview of a presentation which many be helpful. Text notes can be added as can audio and video.
