Online presentation creation tool, Slide Rocket now allows you to record audio in your presentations online. 'Record audio feature' is somewhat similar to record narration feature of PowerPoint. You just need to create the slide, click on record your audio narration on the slide and record the voice over.

The feature was certainly a most sought after feature for any online presentation tool. More and more such features which are otherwise available only in PowerPoint will boost the usage of online presentation tools.

More and more online products are being added to the ever growing list of PowerPoint resources and tools everyday. From PowerPoint creation to PowerPoint sharing, all has gone a complete makeover. Now only handful of people use email attachments as a way to share PowerPoint presentations. Most of the PowerPoint geeks are hooked to online PowerPoint sharing websites like SlideShare, authorSTREAM or are using online presentation creation tools like Google Presentations, Slide Rocket, slide 280 etc. Microsoft too will join the league of online PowerPoint sharing and collaboration websites with the launch of PowerPoint 2010 early next year.
