Polling software

Polling products:

We are referring here to interactive touchpad systems used to improve group communication in face-to-face meetings. They function to support meeting processes by collecting information from a group to facilitate discussion and decision-making, and to evaluate and prioritize ideas. Meeting participants respond to questions / statements, provide their opinions, and prioritize issues using hand-held touchpads. Response graphs are immediately viewable or saved for later viewing. CompuTouch has been working with various polling products for fifteen years; and we've used them in meetings ranging from only a few participants to 2,000 and more.

CompuTouch represents audience response polling software from two companies:

Option Technologies Interactive, LLC (OTI) - the world's largest provider of interactive audience participation technology and services
ppvote limited / CLiKAPAD - a well established provider of very easy to use PowerPoint voting adds-in combined with the smallest, lightest radio frequency keypad available.

Each of these has several software packages:

From OTI —
◙ OptionFinder — a sophisticated polling product which uses its own graphics engine. OptionFinder is flexible, very dynamic and a true facilitation tool.
◙ OptionPower — a PowerPoint add-in for presenters.
From ppvote — All three of the ppvote products run under PowerPoint
◙ ppvotelite — a simple, easy-to-use entry-point polling product.
◙ ppvoteprofessional — more powerful that ppvotelite.
◙ ppvotematrix — a tool for professional workshop facilitators.
