SMART's customer focus drives multilanguage software release
Calgary, AB --- February 26, 2002 --- SMART Technologies Inc. announces the availability of the latest version of SMART Board software for the Microsoft
Windows operating system in ten languages. The award-winning software, which works with the SMART Board family of interactive whiteboards, is now available in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Korean, Portuguese and Italian.
"Offering SMART Board software in our customers' native languages is a priority for us," says Nancy Knowlton, president and COO of SMART Technologies Inc. "With this latest multilanguage release, we're able to better serve and support SMART customers around the world."
SMART Board Software Features
SMART Board software powers the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and enables users to control computer applications simply by pressing on the board's touch-sensitive surface. When a pen is selected from the SMART Pen Tray, a user can write over top of any application using either his finger or a stylus – no special tools are required. Users can save and edit these notes and distribute them in a variety of file formats.
SMART Board software for Microsoft Windows includes SMART Board driver 7.0, SMART Notebook 2.4 software and a new feature, SMART Recorder. When SMART Recorder is activated, all annotations and applications displayed on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard can be recorded to a single file. Using any standard microphone, audio is captured in the same file and automatically synched with the data. This file can be played back in Windows Media Player or viewed online. For an online demonstration, visit www.smarttech.com/recorder.
Pricing and Availability
Multilanguage SMART Board software for Microsoft Windows currently ships with all SMART Board interactive whiteboard products and is available as a free download to SMART customers at www.smarttech.com/support/software.
The SMART Board software CD-ROM includes a PDF file of the SMART Boards User's Guide in each of the ten languages. When a user inserts the CD-ROM into a Microsoft Windows computer, the interface will automatically launch in the same language as the user's operating system.
