VoiceThread
VoiceThread is the evolution of online communication. VoiceThread bridges the gap between real-time discussions and static multi-media slideshows. A VoiceThread gives the feeling of working side-by-side with others, even if you're on opposite sides of the world, and working at completely different times. This makes VoiceThread the platform for on-demand teaching, learning, training, critiquing & editing--collaboratively. At VoiceThread, we believe universal accessibility means more than just saying we meet a few guidelines in Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act. We want to make our software usable by all people. Section 508 does a good job of encouraging that, but we want to go one step further and make it straightforward and pleasant for everyone. We want to serve the needs of a person with dyslexia or ADHD, an outdoor classroom with mobile devices, a user in the developing world without high-speed internet, a kindergartner, or an elderly lifelong learner. In our experience, the only way to do this is by thoughtful and sensitive design, with lots of input from our differently-abled users, and that's something that can't be contained in any number of check-boxes. VoiceThread is optimized for screen-readers, includes alt-text for any document uploads, and comes with multiple captioning options for institutions. VoiceThread works right in your mobile browser so you have the same experience of creating and collaborating around content on a phone or tablet as you do on your computer. The integration between all of our access points will be seamless. "There is no substitute for the compassion, emotion, and expressiveness of the human voice." ~Steve Muth President/CEO, VoiceThread
