Annotate Presentations By Drawing On Screen With Epic Pen

Looking for ways of annotating your presentations without ruining the look of your presentation slides? It’s time you tried something epic. Epic Pen is a free Windows application for drawing over your desktop. With this app you can draw and write content in different colors over your wallpaper or application interfaces; which makes it the ideal tool for annotating presentations.

A few major features of this application is the ease of use, support for multiple monitors and hotkeys. Once launched, Epic Pen provides a small interface for selecting a pen, color and eraser for annotating your desktop. You can further shrink the interface of the app by checking the Hide Ink option; which hides inking features.

Epic Pen can be used for a variety of purposes ranging from use during class lessons, PowerPoint Presentations and for making video tutorials. As the inking features provide the utility of free hand drawing, you can use this app for anything from writing text, highlighting objects on your desktop and even for doodling.

On the downside Epic Pen can be a little obtrusive during annotations as unlike what is claimed on the Sourceforge page, the app does restrict clicks and the only way to get rid of the pen seems to be to cancel the Epic Pen window. Hence, if you are looking for a tool for annotating your presentation slides, you may find MagPointer to be more effective. Epic Pen works with the following Windows operating systems:
