TechEdology Reviews 200

The tutorials are quite good. The functionality is impressive. It would be nice if timelines were a feature but, maybe that is too specialized.

I am using Inspiration in organising my family history research, which after 20 years, is spread all over my computer. I had no idea what Mind Mapping was about but I attended an online tutorial about how it can be used to organise all those bits of paper that family historians collect over the years. I looked at a number of software packages, a cousin with dyslexia mention your software, I watched the videos and felt it was well explained. The new addition for Citations is great. I will have only to go to Inspiration to copy into my Family History software – this is certainly a great tool, you should advertise it to family historians.

I need help from support.
my diagrams WON'T PRINT OUT.
The Inspirations team is going to help me with this issue.

user-friendly, strongly recommended.

Inspiration 10 is really quick and easy to use - therefore really useful to get students' ideas/key words drawn onto mind map, instantly. The training videos are helpful in learning how to use hyper links and references. Thank you.

The versatility and use of colour makes Inspiration attractive to students who don't engage well with some of the more corporate looking visual planning tools.
Several student’s find it helpful to first use rapid fire without links to get idea down- then to order. Especially for those with conditions such as ADHD and dyspraxia.

The webinars from Reeza, Ruby and the team are very clear and easy to follow.

As a Learning Specialist who works with alternative learners, I always recommend Inspiration to both students and teachers. The templates are perfect for the whole to part and more visual learner. These templates also help Teachers create Rubrics, lesson plans and augment their teaching. There are endless templates for every type of subject and every type of writing. This software has helped hundreds of my students over the years.

I enjoy using Inspiration 10. It was very easy to install, and I find the tool self-explanatory to use. I think the price is for such powerful tool fair. I find the RapidFire function very useful when I want to brain-storm some of my ideas or projects. Later I can arrange my ideas systematically. Also it is extremely practical for my excerpts from specialist books I read.

I purchased Inspiration 9 in 2012 and have used it happily ever since in many ways: presentations, proposals, lessons, concept maps of my learning, and my favorite—brainstorming ideas and organizing them. I have also been well-pleased with the support the company provides when I have questions.

I've been using Inspiration for more 20 years. Finest ever! But recently lost the Mac version. I think If the decision was made for technical reasons, then it was the work of ignorance. I hope you can work with Apple to bring back the lost treasure now.

Very helpful indeed - sorting out a licence for Inspiration 10 and checking this was all in order. Links to webinars are also helpful.

I have used various iterations for almost two decades, from university to professional use. It remains the easiest and most reliable software for mindmapping.

As I move a fair amount, I have needed to acquire new licence keys. I have found TedEd not only responsive, but often help me beyond expectations with further support videos and examples of how to get more use. I happily recommend Inspiration to colleagues and students, and TedEd for their reliable and responsive service, both pre and post-sale.

Y’all need it got Mac in the US and be able to move licenses between computers.

It has more bells and whistles than I thought. Working excellent for laying out processes and easy to learn.

Very responsive service and helpful upgrade information.

I have used Inspiration for over 25 years as a teaching, research and communication tool and it is the ideal tool for all these tasks. I have tested other brain mapping and flow charting tools but none of them are as robust, user friendly and intuitively logical as Inspiration. Having relied on Inspiration 8 for 25 years, it took me a while to finally purchase Inspiration 10 and I think it is the best investment that I have made in 2021. I will recommend this product to any educator, researcher or communicator highly and without any reservations whatsoever.

There could be improvements by making shortcuts on key board with linking and drawing concepts to make mind maps faster and possibly allow to take maps in class lectures.

Otherwise very impressed.

Inspiration is a fantastic mind mapping software and really useful for planning my work.

It really helps my dyslexia.

It's very easy to use and so effective.
