Whiteboard Photo by PolyVision

Some Nice Touches
We love when software works as promised, but we love it even more when the software designers add little touches to make the experience so much better. Much to my surprise, I found a nifty miniature tripod in the Whiteboard Photo box. The note that came along with it said that Polyvision wanted the user to take the best pictures possible. this tripod is cleverly designed with most of the weight resting on the main “foot” and the other two “feet” supporting the main foot. There is also a Velcro strap that allows one to strap the tripod and the attached camera to most light poles and similar objects. There was something very sincere about including the tripod like the company actually cared for the user. That belief is reinforced by the great help file. Although the program is nearly self explanatory, the help file has just about everything one would ever want to know about the program.
Figure 5: This great little tripod was included with the package. Although it may not provide much height, it is more stable than the last mini tripod I reviewed and it has the ability to cling to things with that Velcro strap.
Is It Worthy?
I will try to articulate this in the best way possible. If you use whiteboards or blackboards on a daily basis and do not want to take notes by hand, there is absolutely no reason why you should not have this software installed on your machine right now. Whether you are a student or an executive this software will become a major asset to your time management skills.
