Great news for presenters
As of 24-Feb 2009 OmniDazzle is a free download. This is super fantastic news for anyone who presents regularly or takes a lot of screenshots for documentation and “how to” tutorials. It comes with “plug-ins” such as Bullseye to track the mouse, Scribble to annotate and highlight and Flashlight, Focal point, Cutout and Zoom to draw attention to specific areas of your screen. The fact that this app is now free is not good news for products like Mousepose from Boinx Software. Sure, Boinx offers a richer set of features but it also has the US$17 price tag. Unless you’re a hardcore screen presenter or have already purchased Mousepose or similar (like me) 24-Feb may just have been your lucky day.
The Omni Group people are a bunch of OS X developer ninjas who have dedicated themselves to “creating good software” for over 15 years. Check out their other offerings while OmniDazzle downloads in the background. You won’t be disappointed. OmniGraphSketcher is currently on my “trial list”.
