iMindMap Takes Your Mind Mapping to a New Level

Whether you are new to Mind Mapping or a seasoned veteran, iMindMap is the Mind Map software that will take your use of this powerful thinking tool up to a new level. Its many impressive features will elevate the quality and output of your thinking, increase your productivity and will boost your confidence in your abilities.

It is a very easy tool to use with the features and functionality organized and arranged in a way that makes it intuitive to use so you can focus your brainpower on the task at hand rather than trying to work out how to use the software. The beauty of using iMindMap is that it helps you capture and organize your ideas and display them in a visual format.

One of the distinct advantages of using Mind Mapping is that it allows you to communicate your ideas to others far more effectively and iMindMap has several distinct features that will allow you to do just that as there are many different ways to share your maps.

There is a great export function in iMindMap that can be found under the File drop down menu and this allows you to output your mind maps in a variety of formats. As mind mapping is a highly visual tool then being able to share the picture of your ideas is a useful function. One of the output options is to produce your map in SVG (scalable vector graphics) format which means you can produce high quality images for use in any publication you require.

Another great feature of iMindMap is the ability to import a wide range of file formats that include text documents, images, audio files, video clips and even spreadsheets. This is again available in the File drop down menu. One of the really slick features of this great mind map software is its integration with Microsoft Office which means you can now combine the incredible power and efficiency of two great pieces of software.

I will come back to the ability to share your maps with others because you will find your communication effectiveness will rapidly increase and you will want to share more and more of your mind maps. iMindMap has a screen capture tool that gives you the ability to take a screen shot of a map or even just a part of it.

This means you can quickly add your mind maps to other documents, emails, web sites and project files by simply cutting and pasting using the screen capture tool. This will help make your documents look even more professional.

Of course this Mind Map software is extremely flexible and you can tailor its use to your specific needs. You can do that either by just using the functions particular to you, or you can select the version of iMindMap that most suits your requirements. iMindMap comes in these versions - Elements, Professional, Ultimate and Ultimate Plus which allow you to match your needs with your budget.

As I have mentioned earlier, Mind Mapping is a way of visually organizing and presenting your ideas and so this software also comes with an extensive image library. It has a very large collection of images, graphics, clip art and even some animated clips that will bring your mind map to life. It is very easy to select the most appropriate image for your branch and then attach it.

As well as the image library, iMindMap also comes with an icon library packed with theme related icons and symbols. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can very quickly transform your mind map into a visually stimulating capture of your thoughts.

For the more adventurous, there is also a Sketch Tool that will allow you to draw your own pictures and add them to your Mind Map. This allows you to make your map personal and gives you the flexibility to add an appropriate image if the stock library doesn't have one that suits. It is very easy to add a sketch to a branch and you don't need to be a brilliant artist to create a meaningful image to use.

Of course after all of your diligent work generating and capturing your ideas and then organizing and illustrating them on your Mind Map, iMindMap allows you to take the images you see on your screen and then print out your map so you can share them in hard copy too.

 There are a range of other features too numerous to mention here but of worthy note are the e-Learning Course Builder, the Tablet and Interactive Whiteboard feature and the project management tool.
