Speechi 3 gives users the possibility to synchronize their PowerPoint with a Flash video in just one click (this is the smart mode). The person watching the Speechi on the Internet can then change the video size live by just pulling the small handle located at the bottom right.

But, until now, this modification could only be done at viewing time. Every Speechi would appear with same “default” proportions for the video.

Speechi authors can now modify the Speechi default proportions – video colum and slide size. They can do this very easily.

The Smart Mode is the quickest way to synchronize a video with your PowerPoint, provided your video has been filmed while you were showing you Powerpoint (using Speechi) to your audience. In many cases, this is just not the case. For instance, you may have a video handy that was filmed some time earlier and now that you have heard of Speechi powerful video features, you want to show your video synchronized with your PowerPoint.

This tends to happen often in Universities where lots of classes have already been filmed – but of course the Powerpoint content as such has not been processed yet.

In this case, you should use Speechi Simple Import mode. Speechi Simple Import mode lets you quickly synchronize your video with each slide – and with each slide’s transition. It is not a "One Click" mode like the Smart Mode, however, it allows rapid and efficient video / PowerPoint post-synchronization.

Je parlais il y a à peine 10 jours du nouvel ACER 200, qui à mon avis renouvelait l’usage des Tablet PC en permettant à la tablette d’être aussi utilisable en position écran, posée sur un support fixe, comme pour un ordinateur normal. Et bien, Fujitsu vient de sortir un Tablet sur le même principe (Historiquement, Fujitsu est Acer sont les deux constructeurs les plus innovants en matière de Tablet).

Speechi est dès le départ conçu pour être utilisé avec un tableau blanc interactif ou un Tablet PC. Sur un Tablet PC, le stylet permet d’annoter de façon très naturelle le PowerPoint, d’enregistrer les annotations, etc…

Jusqu’à présent, j’utilisais un bon Tablet PC, l’Acer C110, qui possède un écran rotatif orientable. Le C110 me convenait parfaitement en tant que Tablet, mais il avait des limitations en tant que PC portable:

– écran un peu petit (10,4 pouces)
– écran rotatif => environ 30 secondes pour passer du mode portable au mode Tablet (or on a constamment besoin de passer de l’un à l’autre)
