Both functions can be triggered by pressing hotkeys, namely the combination [CTRL SHIFT 1] for zooming ing and [CTRL SHIFT 2] for drawing on the screen. It has to be noted that it is possible to draw on the screen after zooming in at least once without having to press the drawing hotkey first.

Both hotkeys can be changed in the program’s options. The only other parameters that can be changed in the options are to define a time in seconds after which drawings on the screen will disappear automatically and if the mouse cursor should be captured.

The software program uses less than 3 Megabytes while running on the computer system which together with its tiny size of just 76 Kilobytes makes it an ideal companion for a portable device or presentation disk. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and will probably also run on Windows Server and Windows 7.

DemoHelper is definitely not the first software program review of a software that helps spice up presentations. Other applications that offer similar features are Computer Whiteboard or Zoom It.

The computer whiteboard software is unfortunately only available in German which should not be a huge problem as it is completely icon driven. The toolbar looks similar to image editor toolbars and should not pose a problem for none German speaking users.

The software will display a small window with a Start button after launch. Pressing the start button will activate the whiteboard mode on the computer. The computer screen is a full whiteboard from that moment on until the user presses the Fertig (Done) button.

The computer whiteboard software works flawlessly without lags or visual problems. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
