Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced Adobe Visual Communicator 3 software, which enables educators and students to easily create scripted, television-quality broadcasts. Designed for those new to video, the software is ideal for project-based learning, distance learning courses and campus-wide newscasts. With this new version, simplified templates and wizards give even inexperienced users the ability to create profeassional video presentations that can be streamed live over the Internet in the FLV format using Adobe Flash Media Server software, or output to a projector, television, or Channel One Closed-Circuit System.

“For tomorrow’s broadcast professionals, Visual Communicator delivers a fast-track to the quality of results seen every night on television news reports,” said Mark Randall, chief strategist, Dynamic Media at Adobe.

Adobe Visual Communicator 3 (Academic Pricing)eliminates traditional timelines, making video production faster and easier. Enhancements include new set-up wizards, drag-and-drop animated templates and an interactive “Coach” that gets users up and running quickly. Similar to a professional television studio, users can preview up to three cameras at once while recording or presenting live with the mini-switcher feature to create interview-style videos in real time. In addition, a full-screen teleprompter allows the presenter to read scripts from a distance.
“Visual Communicator 3 allows me to teach students as young as 10-years-old how to independently create video presentations within minutes,” said Rob Zdrojewski, technology educator at Amherst Middle School in Buffalo, NY and director for Amherst Tech TV. “The new templates and wizards in Visual Communicator 3 will enable students to get up-to-speed even faster and with less initial instruction. With the increased use of technology in today’s schools, Visual Communicator is also a great way to make static classroom presentations more visually appealing and engaging.”

By working with Microsoft, we feel confident that AceReader Pro Deluxe will provide users of Windows Vista with enhanced reliability, security and compatibility."

"Products that carry the Certified for Windows Vista logo have met explicit standards of reliability and quality, and have been tested and proven to deliver a superior experience with Windows Vista," said Brad Goldberg, General Manager for Windows Vista Product Management at Microsoft Corp. "We are extremely pleased that StepWare's AceReader Pro Deluxe carries the certified logo and takes advantage of the new technologies available in Windows Vista."

AceReader Pro Deluxe teaches you to break bad reading habits such as subvocalization (pronouncing the words in your mind as you read), and regression (reading passages more than once). It also helps expand your eye fixation zone so that you can read multiple words at a time.

AceReader Pro's text-to-speech add-on expands the usefulness of the software beyond its mainstream audience of grades 4 through adult. By pacing eye movement and reading words aloud, the program also helps kids in grades 1 through 3 learn to read. ESL and foreign language students can now hear the words as the text is flashed on the screen. Business people and other online readers can save time and increase productivity by having their computer read aloud their email and news. AceReader Pro uses AT&T's Natural Voices technology, which employs the highest-quality human sounding voices available.
