Future students could be wasting a lot less time making presentations for class thanks to a new addition to the Microsoft Office Lineup.
Sway, an application that automatically designs Web pages after being fed text, images and videos, works on any device and scales itself to the size of the screen, the Wall Street Journal's Personal Tech News blog reported.
"We're trying to take that designer's instinct and put that into an app that easily allows people to get their ideas down onto a canvas with no pre-defined borders or edges," said Michael Atalla, a product director on Microsoft's Office team, as quoted by Personal Tech News.
Sway's preview version will launch first for iPhone and the Web, while Android and Windows versions will eventually follow, according to Mashable.
Users can tweak their projects after the app has automatically arranged text, pictures and other information, and each presentation will be available as a discrete Web address that can be sent as a link.
Still in preview mode, Sway is only available after users submit their Microsoft credentials and are granted access. Beta and full-fledged versions should be coming in the near future, but Microsoft hasn't yet announced an official release date.
Sway.com is essentially a way for Microsoft to get feedback on the app to see what still needs tweaking.
"Our preview is actually designed to be, for lack of a better term, crowdsourcing the future of the app," said Microsoft's Atalla. "We really want people to use this thing and tell us in what direction we should take it."
