Description
★ WHAT IS SLATEBOARD?
SlateBoard is a lightweight screen annotation tool that sits invisibly
over everything on your computer. With one click you can draw, write
and highlight directly on top of any slide, video, PDF, website or
document — without switching apps or moving windows.
Built specifically for teachers, lecturers, tutors and trainers.
★ KEY FEATURES
✏️ ANNOTATE OVER ANYTHING
Draw freehand, place text boxes and highlight areas on top of
PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDFs, websites — anything
showing on your screen. No screen-sharing software required.
🖊️ INTERACTIVE BOARD MODES (NEW)
Turn your screen into a full-size whiteboard, blackboard or
coloured board without opening Paint, Word or PowerPoint:
• Whiteboard (white background, marker colours)
• Blackboard (dark background, chalk colours)
• Chalkboard (classic green, white chalk)
• Yellow Board — soft yellow background with black text, proven to
reduce visual stress for dyslexic learners. Great to mention to
SEND coordinators and inclusion leads!
🎨 COLOUR PICKER & BRUSH SIZES
5 brush sizes (XS–XL), 8 preset colours + full custom colour picker.
Eyedropper tool lets you pick any colour directly from your screen.
⌨️ TYPE ON SCREEN
Place formatted text anywhere on screen in your chosen colour and
size. Commit with Enter, undo with Ctrl+Z.
📐 FLEXIBLE TOOLBAR
Horizontal or vertical toolbar — switch with one click or press V.
Drag the bar anywhere on screen. Stays neatly out of the way during
normal use (completely invisible when not annotating).
⚡ GLOBAL KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Alt+D — toggle draw mode from anywhere, no need to click
Alt+C — clear the canvas instantly
Alt+B — cycle through board backgrounds
Ctrl+Z — undo the last stroke
🖥️ WORKS ON ANY APP
SlateBoard is a transparent overlay. It doesn't interfere with your
presentation software — just runs silently alongside it.
