Posted in Tech by Derek at 3:40 pm

The Google Operating System blog uncovered an interesting bit of code which hints at a future project dubbed Presently. The web based service will convert a document into a presentation, create slides, and view the presentation in fullscreen. The proof is in a series of lines of code which were uncovered in a Google File.

var MSG_DOC_TO_PRESENTATION=”Convert document to presentation”;
var MSG_DOC_TO_PRESENTATION_HINT=”Once your document is converted to a presentation, you can insert slide breaks using Insert > Slide from the main menu.”;
var MSG_PRESENTATION_TO_DOC=”Convert presentation to document”;
var MSG_POPUP_BLOCKER=”Presently is unable to launch your presentation in full-screen mode. Check your pop-up blocker settings.”;
var MSG_NEW_SLIDE_TITLE=”New Slide”;
var MSG_UNSUPPORTED_BROWSER=”Unsupported Browser Presently doesn’t support Opera and will not function properly. Would you like to continue anyway?”;
var MSG_SLIDE_INDEX=”Slide %1 of %2: %3″;
var MSG_NEXT=”Next”;
var MSG_NEXT_HINT=”Space, Enter, N”;
var MSG_PREV=”Previous”;

The file goes on-and-on. Feel free to peruse the rest of the document at your liesure if you’re hesitant to believe in such an application coming from the Google Team.
