ViewletBuilder 2.67

ViewletBuilder, Qarbon's authoring tool, creates animated software demonstrations that are perfect for showing how software works. Cursors move, menus open, and selections are made -- all while audio voiceovers, text balloons and notes explain the action.

Viewlet technology provides companies with powerful audio-visual training solutions that heighten the effectiveness of online marketing, employee training and customer support. Viewlet technology removes all barriers to creating and enjoying rich media demos.

Interaction with the viewer can also be introduced through "click zones," "text zones" and "pause zones." Additionally, active URLs and e-mail addresses may even be embedded within the Viewlets themselves, creating an opportunity to build interactive decision trees ("Interested in more on this subject? Click here!").

For those tired of memory-hogging video applications, Viewlets offer a number of benefits:

- The viewer does not have to download a plug-in in order to first view the demonstration.
- Proprietary compression techniques make for extremely small file size.
- Files stream in (without the need for dedicated servers).

All these advantages contribute to creating an environment where even dial-up modem users can enjoy a rich learning experience. The authoring side is equally hassle-free; you don't need to be a desktop design wizard in order to create a nice demo.

Viewlets are great for:

- Training
- Product demos and product overviews
- Support (internal and external)
- Prototyping new product ideas
- Web site overviews ("New visitor? Click here!")
- Describing specific functions (e.g., "How to use the shopping cart")
