Review

Articuclate is a useful tool as it has an intuitive user interface and logical way to create advanced interactions. User interface is quite similar to that of Microsoft Office PowerPoint so users feel comfortable with the software quickly. There is a strong community exists where questions or problems can be answered by the community members quite soon. The pictured characters have flexible settings and there is free form and drag-n-drop questions. Also it provides software simulation as well as variables and triggers. Free mobile app for viewing content on iPads and Android devices.
However it has some disadvantages such as a High price, its not compatible with other similar products, there is no feature to publishing to video, there is no opportunity to add a video narration, there is no content adaptation for mobile devices and there is no Conversation Simulation tool.
