Converts PPT and pdf's to embeddable flash on customizable channels, allows audio recording on those files, and audio comments, more. Foreign language recognition (non-Latinate characters) is a problem, but what it does, it does very well. (And I wonder if Andrew considered using the annotate pen on Voicethread as one way to do Japanese characters - not what he was looking for, I know, but possible...) Hi Chris,

I like VoiceThread too, but check out Splashcast, if you haven’t already, for a similar but to me way more flexible tool. Converts PPT and pdf’s to embeddable flash on customizable channels, allows audio recording on those files, and audio comments, more.

Foreign language recognition (non-Latinate characters) is a problem, but what it does, it does very well.

(And I wonder if Andrew considered using the annotate pen on Voicethread as one way to do Japanese characters – not what he was looking for, I know, but possible…)

First time to do this sort of thing but I am a language teacher and interested in trying to use it myself. I was trying to work out a way to write the Japanese in Japanese, and not using English letters, but the global IME didn't seem to work. Does anyone know how this can be overcome? Thanks.
