Multi Media and Education Software head to head

MULTIMEDIA COMPARISON 

PICASA

• Picasa is a FREE multimedia related software for the viewing, organizing, and editing of the pictures in your laptop.

• With this software you can create an album of your own digital pictures and share them with your loved ones as well

• you can download a Picasa app for your android phone, windows phone and your iPhone also. 

VLC MEDIA PLAYER

•   This is a platform where you can play your videos and audios for free.
• Can be used for your android phone, windows phone, iPad, iPhone and iPod for free and can be downloaded easily from the app store. 
• VLC Media Player software has got some outstanding features such as it can auto rotate the video that had been shot at weird angle or if you happen to stop a video in the middle, then the next time you play, you won’t have to start from the beginning and it can just resume your video from where you left.
• You can easily add subtitles to your video.

INKSCAPE

• This is a software that you can create as well as edit the vector images including the illustrations, the logos, the complex paintings, the diagrams etc.
• With this software, you can create your own images and shapes under the SVG format.
• The inkscape software can not only be used on your laptop or you MacBook but can be installed on your android phone also. 

     Considering all of these software are free they leave as desirability in regards to buying. If I was choosing it would be VLC Media Player. I like that you can play the videos and audios for free. The video editing under any circumstances sold me due to usual habit of recording sideways and upside down accidentally at sporting events I write for.

•  note-taking software with online syncing
• can organize your work into notebooks, each with its own sections and pages
