Files
Tired of messing with clips? Need to manage Flash movies or MP3
files? Media Connection can build your clips for you and allow you to change
their source based on language or audience. You can do the same for bitmaps and
other resources. Manage your references to other media types via simple
OpenScript calls that return current file locations. Store narration or other
content for each clip, resource, or media file in the database.
Special Tools
Media Connection has special author-level tools for creating the database
based on your ToolBook file.

Congrats to all concerned with the programming, etc. Just successfully demo-ed it to those-I-must-obey and they were very impressed with its speed and ease of use.

I tested the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Chinese (PRC) and Thai. All worked perfectly! Everything imported back into ToolBook just fine! Since we had not been able to use ToolBook for double-byte language content, we have built up a library of other tools that we use depending on the type of courses we are building. Now we should be able to eliminate one or more of these other applications which will make up the cost savings to purchase the TTS.

Prior to having Content Connection, we would have a separate set of books for each language and we would spend hours copying and
pasting (which leaves lots of room for error - especially when we don't speak or read the translated language).

We use Content Connection from Platte Canyon. Right now we use it for Portuguese and Chinese versions of our programs. It is much more than a database to swap out content. You will pay a very small price compared to what it would take for you to develop something even remotely similar in functionality, robustness, and ease of use.

Very cool program. Best of all it was easy to install and use. In less than 1 hour I installed the program and had one of our modules running with multiple databases. In that hour, I also had time to play around with the Translator. Nice job.
