Create Interactive Presentations From Mind Maps With Mindomo

Mindomo is a cross-platform application for creating mind maps and turning them into interactive presentations. It is available for a variety of platforms ranging from Android, iPad, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Mindomo brings a utility that is often not found in mind mapping applications, i.e. the utility to directly convert mind maps into presentations. This makes Mindomo more useful than other mobile and desktop mind mapping applications like SchematicMind, MindMapper and iThoughtsHD. This is because one can easily present a mind map as a presentation using Mindomo, instead of exporting the mind map to a presentation software like Keynote or Microsoft PowerPoint.

Mindomo - Mind Map Software

Mindomo Desktop Edition

If you are using the desktop version of Mindomo, make sure that you have Adobe Air installed on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer. This is because the desktop version of Mindomo does not have separate files for these operating systems and has been built using Adobe Air. This means that the software package can run on any device with Adobe Air installed on it. While Adobe Air applications are known to be resource intensive, they do provide the utility of overcoming compatibility issues (e.g. between various Linux flavors). It is worth mentioning here that Adobe Air was unfortunately discontinued for Linux and the old package of Adobe Air may or may not work with your Linux OS. When you launch the Mindomo desktop application it provides some very self explnatory options for creating mind maps. Just start with your central topic and begin adding lines, themes, layout, text, images, etc.

  1. I would like to make an interactive powerpiont presentation of the postal, delivery courier services. Any background suggestion or any moving box shipping interactive templates.

    1. Hi CLive. Thank you for leaving your comment. We have plenty of backgrounds that you can use for Postal and Delivery Courier Services. I am envisioning that you could use a PowerPoint background with an amazing truck picture. Following that link you can download a free truck PowerPoint template that can fit very well in a transportation and delivery courier services presentation. There are other abstract Power Point backgrounds and slide designs that you can suit well, too. Following that second link you can get more than 160 free backgrounds and slide designs.

      Finally there is a free delivery PowerPoint template that you can also download although the background contains a motorcycle delivery illustration with a happy smiley face.
