Soundslides Resources

WHY SOUNDSLIDES?

• It's like a broadcast package but with still images (which some consider more powerful than video)


• Allows you to tell a narrative with images and audio


• Allows you to concentrate on the narrative rather than commands or writing code


• Creates files and folder needed to embed slideshows on websites and blogs


• Costs $40 ($70 for full version) and runs on Windows and Mac

Some slide shows — for example, this one from boston.com — don't tell a narrative.
