Further, Speakers centralizes all of your presentations into a single repository that you can carry with you on your iPad.

With SpeakerNotes presenters can show slides, track presentation time, and reference notes for each slide. Viewers can install the free "Lite" version of SpeakerNotes and join presentation over wi-fi and can use a set of simple tools to mark-up slides or record notes for later reference.
