All versions of iMindMap are amazing as it is made based on the guidelines of Tony Buzan, a famous educational consultant, psychologist and author of books related to the brain and thinking. This article provides a preview of the exciting features available with this product and for people who use this software. Presentation view is the latest addition to this software, which is very useful for creating business presentations. We can share and express our ideas as visual presentations. Also, the software comes with 2 display settings that can be used to view presentations on two separate screens. Previous versions came with an organic interface and this new presentation mode is much better than that.
Also, the options to drag images to any position on the mind map are really amazing. We can use shortcuts to control movements and click buttons in menus instead of using the mouse to click buttons. We can also add recordings to branches directly, which is the best feature of Imindmap4. We can also use this feature to listen to the recordings later and this is the only software that supports audio recording.
There is also a text version that displays images, notes, and web links vividly. It is possible for the user to edit in text mode and it comes along with drawing tools. Anything that can be done in the map view can also be done using the Text view. Text had to be placed on branches directly in previous versions, but the latest version comes with the option to add keywords in boxes.
It also allows users to create themes in floating format like charts and also has a screenshot tool to take snapshots of mind maps. We can make use of keyboard shortcuts to add the topics in any branch of the mind maps without the need to search with the mouse pointer. The toolbar is very simple and easy to use. The latest version is very easy to use and has an intuitive user interface.
The Imindmap4 is definitely a good tool for thinking outside the box and holding brainstorming sessions. The software is compatible with other software applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. and we can export mind maps for the web. The software has import and export features, which is ideal for business users. We can import the MS Word documents and we can create hierarchies from them that can be turned into notes or subtopics quite easily. The software is very easy to use when making large mind maps as it has a zoom in and out feature. Also, we can print large mind maps easily with this software. There are various 3D images and icons in the library and the best feature is auto image which allows us to search for images from the image library. iMindMap version 4 is also available in three editions, namely Elements, Ultimate and Professional, and each of them has features that vary according to the requirements of the end user.
