BITNIP - ZoomIt - Presentation tool

Once you unzip it, just double click on the program and it should run in the background. The default to turn on the zoom feature is 'Ctrl+1'. You can zoom into anything on the screen, not just a presentation slide. For example, I am describing a website or doing a meeting and would like to discuss what to do or how to edit it.

I'd launch the website in Firefox and it should look something like this:

I tap 'Ctrl+1' and it will zoom into a certain area like this:

When I click on the right mouse button, it will allow me to draw on the screen. If I click left mouse button, it will exit zoom. If I scroll in and out with the mouse wheel, it will zoom in and out. This is how it looks like if I draw on the zoomed screen

It is just that easy! It is, lightweight and free to use. This is much better than using a laser pointer or pointing at the screen with a stick or your finger. It also helps the audience pay attention to your presentation if you keep it dynamic and flowing.
