ProfCast 2.6.1

ProfCast 2.6.1 is a useful tool which is designed for recording lectures and creating enhanced podcasts.

ProfCast provides a low cost solution for recording and distributing lectures, special events, and presentations as podcasts. ProfCast offers an integrated workflow that makes creating, recording, and publishing podcasts easy. It's as simple as Launch, Load, and Lecture!

ProfCast integrates with your existing lecture software, such as Apple's Keynote, and a user's existing presentation workflow. With integrated help and support documentation, ProfCast is easy to learn and use by the most inexperienced user. The program integrates with a lecturer's existing work flow, leveraging existing lecture software that the user is already familiar with. ProfCast integrates well with educator's existing teaching processes, and provides an intuitive, reliable and fun solution!

Until now, capturing lectures has been a difficult, time-consuming and costly process. ProfCast allows users to give lectures and presentations as they normally would; ProfCast does the work for them.

ProfCast is designed specifically around a presenter's workflow. Instructors can then give their presentation the way they normally would. When they are finished, ProfCast will walk them through a series of screens to help them publish their enhanced podcast in a matter of minutes.
