Lyric Video Maker for YouTube 1.0 for iOS - Create Custom Lyric Videos - Published on 05/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Inervit today introduces Lyric Video Maker for YouTube 1.0 for iOS, its app that allows users to create custom lyric videos of songs in their Music Library. The app lets users make a video recording, controlling exactly when each word of a song's lyrics appears on screen during playback as well as transitions between multi-color video backgrounds. Lyric Video Maker accommodates text input of lyrics directly via iTunes Info, manual typing, voice input, or cut and paste from music lyric web sites.

Seoul, Korea, Republic Of - Inervit today is pleased to introduce Lyric Video Maker for YouTube 1.0 for iOS, its new app that allows users to create custom lyric videos of songs in their Music Library. The app lets users create and save a video recording, controlling exactly when each word of a song's lyrics appears on screen during playback. Also under user control are video transitions between abstract, multi-color graphical backgrounds. Lyric Video Maker accommodates text input of lyrics directly via iTunes Info, or through manual typing, voice input, or cut and paste from lyric web sites.

Feature Highlights:
* Load music from your own music Library
* Load lyrics automatically using Music info
* Select a Video Style that you want
* Tap the screen to shuffle lyrics with fancy animation and colors
* Record the animation with music
* Upload and share on YouTube (Facebook, Twitter)

Lyric videos have grown in popularity because they can add immensely to the enjoyment of a song. Ordinarily, listening to a song involves only one form of sensory input, hearing. Music videos augment the experience of a song by adding a second sensory input, vision. Music videos generally show the artist performing the song in a concert or dramatic setting. Lyric videos take visual and auditory stimuli to a higher level by adding text, the lyrics of the song as they are heard aloud. Suddenly, sometimes hard to hear words are spelled out, and the artistry of the lyrics is fully revealed directly within the context of the music.

Tapping with one finger during the playback audio/record video process releases one word at a time onto the screen. Animated words float and fade in, and the app automatically goes to a new screen at the end of a sentence. Users can achieve very high levels of accuracy, bringing each word of the song's lyrics into view at any time they choose.

Lyric Video Maker for YouTube features six graphical themes as backgrounds for lyric videos. Tapping with two fingers during the playback/record process alters the background slightly, providing a visual transition between words, sentences, or stanzas. Major background changes occur automatically. Each of the six graphical themes employs different fonts, colors, and text animation.

"LVM is a revolutionary application to caption lyrics to your music," commented Tea Heon Kang of Inervit Corporation. "You can create eye-catching videos with your fingertips. No special skills or experience required. Simply tap your screen! You will love this experience! Do you care to try?"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 7.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lyric Video Maker for YouTube 1.0 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. Review copies are available on request.

For now the mobile surveys are limited to only one page or five questions. "Consumers respond best to a simple, lightweight experience," explained Marwah.

A tablet is not required. Businesses can create a mobile survey on their phone and share it via a link, email, text, Twitter, or Facebook. All customer data is securely stored in the cloud. Once a survey is completed, the results and notifications are sent immediately to the phones of the managers and owners. From their smartphone the business can respond privately and view graphs. If there is no internet connection, the tablet still captures the customer responses and transmits them when a connection is re-established.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 8.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Loop - Mobile Surveys 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

Coladia announces lower prices for their Mac Adventure Games - Published on 05/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paris based Coladia announces lower prices for their Mac adventure games. The games include Cleopatra - a Queen's Destiny, Da Vinci Secrets, Destination - Treasure Island, Secret of the Lost Cavern, Dracula 3 - The Path of the Dragon, Nostadamus - The Last Prophecy, Return to Mysterious Island 1 & 2 and The Fall trilogy Chapter 1, 2 and 3. Coladia has established partnerships with prestigious developers and publishers to bring the best adventure games on the Mac and the iOS platforms.

Paris, France - Coladia today is proud to announce lower prices for their Mac adventure games. All games will be sold at $7.90 or $9.90. All games are available on the Coladia store, Mac App Store and partner sites.

Cleopatra: a Queen's Destiny:
Alexandria in Egypt 48BC. The country is divided by civil war pitting Cleopatra's supporters against those of her brother and husband, Ptolemy, who is ravaging the country. In this climate of terror, Thomas, a young apprentice to Akkod, Cleopatra's astrologist and astronomist, falls in love with his master's daughter. One day, in horror, he discovers that both master and daughter have been kidnapped.

Destination: Treasure Island:
Four years have passed since the end of the adventure recounted in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel. Jim Hawkins has become an upstanding adventurous young man, attentive to those around him. Imagine his surprise when, one morning, he sees a parrot enter his bedroom window: none other than Captain Flint, Long John's own companion. The bird brings him a message from his master.

Dracula 3 - The Path of the Dragon:
September 1920, the Vatican appoints Father Arno Moriani, the "Devil's Advocate", to investigate a potential candidate for sainthood in Transylvania. But in the shadows of the disturbing ruins that were once Vlad the Impaler's castle, his investigation takes an unexpected turn.

Nostadamus - The Last Prophecy:
The court of king Charles IX is making a grand tour of France. Catherine de Medicis, his mother, victim of strange curse, decides to pay a visit to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus.

Return to Mysterious Island:
In this first-person survival adventure, players will encounter recognisable locations from the famous novel, including the granite house, the volcano and the Nautilus. However, Return to Mysterious Island goes beyond Jules Verne's storytelling as players take on the role of Mina, a courageous young woman on a solo round-the-world sailing expedition.

Return to Mysterious Island 2:
Return to Mysterious Island 2, the sequel to adventure game Return to Mysterious Island, and inspired from Jules Verne's novel The Mysterious Island, offers the player an experience comparable to that of Robinson Crusoe or one of Verne's characters. But in this new installment, survival is not all!

Secret of the Lost Cavern:
In 15,000 B.C., strange symbols found while hunting remind Arok of an encounter with a charismatic traveler a long time ago. In order for him to find his long-forgotten friend, the most brilliant painter of Prehistoric times, Arok begins a long and perilous journey.

The Secrets of Da Vinci:
Valdo, an ambitious young apprentice working for Leonardo Da Vinci's disciple, Francesco, is least happy when the scholar suddenly dismisses him. However, shortly afterwards, he receives a letter from a mysterious patron, asking him to locate one of the great master's missing codices.

Coladia: http://www.coladia.com

Ruff's Bone Receives Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Award - Published on 05/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wanderful, Inc. has received the prestigious Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review for its interactive storybook, Ruff's Bone. Ruff's Bone 1.1 is the eighth title, originally published by Living Books but enhanced and updated for iOS devices by Wanderful, and the third of these titles to receive the coveted Editor's Choice Award. The interactive story tells the tale of Ruff who eagerly awaits his Sunday bone given to him each week by his master, who throws it for Ruff to fetch.

San Francisco, California - Wanderful, Inc. has received the prestigious Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review for its interactive storybook, Ruff's Bone. Ruff's Bone 1.1 is the eighth title, originally published by Living Books but enhanced and updated for iOS devices by Wanderful, and the third of these titles to receive the coveted Editor's Choice Award.

Children's Technology Review honored Ruff's Bone in its May 2013 issue. Reviews measure ease of use for children, educational value, entertainment value, design features and overall product value. Ruff's Bone received a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. The review said Ruff's Bone "is a good book meets solid interactive design, in this updated iPad edition of the classic Living Book."

The interactive story tells the tale of Ruff who eagerly awaits his Sunday bone given to him each week by his master, who throws it for Ruff to fetch. In searching for his bone, Ruff visits 12 pages each containing an exotic location filled with objects that are fun and entertaining to interact with. This includes a trip into a dark sky and a hunt on the moon to find it. His determined search leads us down a deep, dark hole, into a cave, high up into the clouds, to the bottom of the ocean and even up a ladder to another planet before Ruff finally finds his way home - with his bone.

"We are thrilled that Wanderful has been honored with the Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Award" said Mickey W. Mantle, Chief Executive Officer at Wanderful. We are especially pleased to receive our third of these wards for Ruff's Bone, in addition to the awards we previously received for Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House. Plus we were pleased that CTR recommended Wanderful's Tortoise and the Hare app as well."

Ruff's Bone was written by Oscar-nominated Eli Noyes, whose work includes projects for Sesame Street, HBO, Scholastic, Nickelodeon, MTV, Pixar, Disney and Oxygen Media.

As with other Wanderful interactive storybooks, Ruff's Bone comes in English and Spanish, with a 66 page Classroom Activities guide. The Classroom Activities guide is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and made available to teachers to help them integrate the App into their teaching curricula.

All of Wanderful's Apps are available on the Apple App Store and coming soon for Android devices.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 82.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Ruff's Bone 1.1 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

Originally introduced in 1992 by Broderbund Software, Living Books were the industry's first highly interactive storybooks that were embraced by educators, praised by parents and cherished by children. Twenty years later, Wanderful CEO Mickey W. Mantle (who as Broderbund CTO oversaw the technology development of Living Books) has assembled key members of the original team, including Living Books creator Mark Schlichting, to re-invent the wildly popular interactive storybooks. The team has built an entirely new multi-platform engine to drive the story experience on the latest tablets, phones and computers, resulting in interactive storybook apps designed to meet the high standards of today's generation of digital kids and provide educational and production values that are not seen in Apps today (including original music produced by professional musicians, professional voice talent, plus animation and sound effects rivaling movie studio productions).

His determined search leads us down a deep, dark hole, into a cave, high up into the clouds, to the bottom of the ocean and even up a ladder to another planet before Ruff finally finds his way home - with his bone.

"We are thrilled that Wanderful has been honored with the Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice Award" said Mickey W. Mantle, Chief Executive Officer at Wanderful. We are especially pleased to receive our third of these wards for Ruff's Bone, in addition to the awards we previously received for Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House. Plus we were pleased that CTR recommended Wanderful's Tortoise and the Hare app as well."

Ruff's Bone was written by Oscar-nominated Eli Noyes, whose work includes projects for Sesame Street, HBO, Scholastic, Nickelodeon, MTV, Pixar, Disney and Oxygen Media.

As with other Wanderful interactive storybooks, Ruff's Bone comes in English and Spanish, with a 66 page Classroom Activities guide. The Classroom Activities guide is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and made available to teachers to help them integrate the App into their teaching curricula.

Originally introduced in 1992 by Broderbund Software, Living Books were the industry's first highly interactive storybooks that were embraced by educators, praised by parents and cherished by children. Twenty years later, Wanderful CEO Mickey W. Mantle (who as Broderbund CTO oversaw the technology development of Living Books) has assembled key members of the original team, including Living Books creator Mark Schlichting, to re-invent the wildly popular interactive storybooks. The team has built an entirely new multi-platform engine to drive the story experience on the latest tablets, phones and computers, resulting in interactive storybook apps designed to meet the high standards of today's generation of digital kids and provide educational and production values that are not seen in Apps today (including original music produced by professional musicians, professional voice talent, plus animation and sound effects rivaling movie studio productions).

microLARGE Software releases Mac task and to-do list app Taskdeck - Published on 05/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, microLARGE Software introduces Taskdeck, a simple task and to-do list app for Mac OS X. Entering the competitive market of task and to-do management apps, Taskdeck stands out by combining a minimalist, keyboard-driven user interface with handy features like tags, attachments, drag & drop prioritization, and powerful searching and filtering. Related tasks are grouped into lists, with each list showing a badge that indicates the number of open, due, or overdue tasks.

Linz, Austria - Today, microLARGE Software released Taskdeck, a simple task & to-do list app for Mac. Entering the competitive market of task and to-do management apps, Taskdeck stands out by combining a minimalist, keyboard-driven user interface with handy features like tags, attachments, drag & drop prioritization, and powerful searching and filtering.

Applicable to a broad range of use cases, Taskdeck provides lightweight, low-overhead task and to-do management. The unobtrusive menu bar application with its iOS-inspired drill-down user interface can be activated on any virtual desktop through a system-wide hotkey, without having to switch between application windows or desktops.

Karl Traunmuller, the developer of Taskdeck says, "Efficient, low-overhead task management is essential to my daily work as a software developer. With Taskdeck, I wanted to create something that would allow me to collect and manage tasks with as little interruption to my workflow as possible. Creating, prioritizing, modifying, or completing tasks should be quick and easy, and of course I wanted tags to categorize tasks."

Taskdeck employs a simple structural model of lists and tasks. Related tasks are grouped into lists, with each list showing a badge that indicates the number of open, due, or overdue tasks. The iOS-inspired drill-down navigation allows users to quickly switch between lists of tasks.

Within a list, tasks can be created by the press of a shortcut. For prioritization, tasks can be dragged to the appropriate slot. Four filter buttons can be used to show all tasks, or only open, due, or overdue tasks. A tagging system allows for tasks to be categorized and searched for. Also, files or URLs can be attached to tasks, a rather obvious feature that's often missing in other task management apps. Subtle animations have been applied with care to hint the user at important changes in the user interface.

Features:
* Quick and easy task & to-do management
* Groups related tasks into lists
* Badges on each list indicate the number of open, due, or overdue tasks
* Drag & drop prioritization of tasks
* Tagging system
* Attach files or URLs to tasks
* Powerful searching and filtering
* QuickLook preview of attachments
* Lightweight, keyboard-driven user interface
* Immediately available on any virtual desktop through a system-wide hotkey
* Localized for English, French, German, Spanish, and Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional)

The next release, expected to be available in about three months, will bring sync capabilities, as well as an iOS companion app. Taskdeck 1.1 will let you enter tasks on your iPad, and have them smoothly synced to your Mac or iPhone, and vice versa.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X Lion Version 10.7.4 or higher
* 64-bit Intel Processor
* 5.1 MB Hard Drive space

Pricing and Availability:
Taskdeck can be purchased for $7.99 (USD) in microLARGE Software's secure online store. A fully functional 15-day trial is available for download. Generous upgrade policy: all updates are included in the purchase.
