With an output capacity of 85 decibels, JAMBOX fills even the largest rooms.

Ridiculously simple storytelling

Soundslides allows storytellers to concentrate on the story, rather than the application. Created for journalists and other storytellers on deadline, Soundslides is designed to make quick work of slide show production.

Fast and intuitive

Soundslides operates in a single window on your Windows or Mac OS X computer, with a straightforward interface that leads you through importing your images and audio. Editing tools are familiar and behave the way you'd expect.

Built for storytelling

Are you a photojournalist needing to document an overseas trip in a full-screen presentation on your organization's Web site? Soundslides makes it simple. Are you a public relations officer documenting your firm's projects in a blog? Soundslides does that too, with online tools that make embedding easy.

Field tested on deadline

Soundslides has been in use at major media outlets and public relations offices around the world since 2005, and it's a favorite of university media labs.
