A cool tool for screen pointing


I was looking for something that allows me to draw on the screen even as I show the software usage during our training session. There are many solution around. You may used a hardware based technology that allows you to use a special pen and draw on the screen. However, this is a bit out of my budget.

Then I come across a software called e-pointer. It is developed by RedCandle software. It is a shareware. The current version is e-pointer 2.3. Basically the software allows you to sketch on the screen while your application is still running. However, the sketches will be cleaned up once you minimize or close it.

The left image shows the screen shot of e-pointer.

I have tested it and found it to be easy. I do not need a separate white board nor expensive hardware anymore yet I can easily illustrate my points with hand drawn sketches.

To download this software for trial, you may go to www.foredu.com/e-pointer/. Happy sketching....!
