SAN CARLOS, CA – February
27, 2007 –Luidia, Inc., a leading global
provider of idea capturing technology, announced today
two new software releases for its eBeam® product
line: eBeam Interact version 1.3 and eBeam Capture v.1.0.
Developed in response to feedback from teachers and trainers,
the new software versions offer support for Microsoft
Windows Vista, audio recording features, and significant
user interface enhancements.
eBeam Interact’s
newest features include:
• Screen Recording with Audio – Record everything
that happens on your screen in real-time. Attach a microphone
to your computer and add synchronized voice-over to any
presentation. Save as a movie file to e-mail or post
online.
• Shape Tools – Scrapbook’s new shapes
tool includes circles, squares, lines, and arrows.
• Customizable Colors –Double-click any color
on the Interact tool palette and fill it with any color.
• Tool Palette Sub-menus –New sub-menus allow
you to swap out tools on the revolutionary round Interact
tool palettes, so you can choose the tools you use most.
eBeam Capture offers the following improvements for whiteboard
users:
• New
User Interface – This
new interface gives you an easy way of digitaly capturing
your dry erase marker notes. Once the notes are saved
to your computer, they can be edited, printed, e-mailed,
and broadcasted over the Internet.
• Whiteboard recording with Audio – Create a
movie file that plays back all of your handwritten strokes.
Use your computer’s microphone to record live audio
along with it, and then save everything as a movie file.
• Strokes as Objects – Every handwritten stroke
becomes an editable object that you can rotate, resize,
copy or paste into any application. Draw a diagram on your
whiteboard and paste a copy of it into your PowerPoint
presentation – it’s as easy as right-clicking!
“Teachers, trainers, and presenters will benefit
greatly from the easy-to-use, yet powerful new features
in these new releases,” says Brad Richter, Luidia’s
Director of Product Design. “Our new software gives
these users many more options for creating, presenting,
and sharing content for classes, meetings, and presentations.”
