Sozi is a zooming presentation editor and player based on SVG and JavaScript.
Unlike most presentation applications, a Sozi document is not organized as a slideshow, but rather as a poster where the content of your presentation can be freely laid out. Playing such a presentation consists in a series of translations, zooms and rotations that allow to focus on the elements you want to show.
Sozi can be run either as a standalone desktop application, or as a hosted web application. The desktop application is based on Electron.
Sozi is based on open standards.
Features include:
- Presenter console – the editor creates an additional HTML file that contains the presenter console. This file can be opened in a web browser which shows a presenter view with the previous, current, and next frames, navigation buttons, and notes. It also opens the presentation automatically in a separate window.
- Embed Sozi presentations in HTML documents.
- Preview transitions in the presentation editor.
- Embed presentations in video and audio.
- Hide the controls of the embedded video and audio documents.
- Keyboard shortcuts are customizable.
- Full-screen mode.
- Move/crop/rotate/zoom layers.
- Reset layer geometry: clears all transformations that have been applied to the selected layers.
- Preferences pane where users can edit the settings of the editor.
- Add layers.
- Add notes.
- Sozi-export – a set of command-line tools that you can use to convert a Sozi presentation into a PDF document, a video, or a PowerPoint presentation.
- Internationalization support – including Chinese, Danish, French, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Russian.
