It provides a free software and video sharing network to facilitate the process of producing and sharing quality and accessible video content for learners in developing regions, particularly in the Arab World. Although producing video tutorials for learners is not a new idea, few simple and efficient solutions have been applied to help educators prepare accessible video and flash content, particularly for those who are deaf or tend to be visual. The software provides a simple technique to integrate popular PowerPoint slides, freehand drawings, text typing, web pages, and direct teacher’s video view in one single window. It allows teachers create video and flash content using several translation techniques, including facial expressions, natural gestur

Microsoft PowerPoint is the leading presentation software used in our professional and educational world for years. It is easy-to-use, flexible, popular, and cost-effective, and allows presenters to create digital multimedia content quickly and efficiently. However, PowerPoint is recognized as a presenter-oriented tool and slides are not substitute for the in-depth information and guidance a presenter should deliver. If the audience are not seeing or listening to the presenter, then reading the slides in isolation will be less valuable. In addition, PowerPoint is not an interactive medium and requires the use of additional supportive technology, such as a whiteboard or flipchart, to engage the audience. At the same time, video is demonstrated to be an expanding channel for communicating ideas. It is socially acceptable and therefore it can be a powerful link between the presenter and the audience. Teachers and presenters usually record their presentations for class revision, knowledge

Have you been thinking about sharing your interview, lecture, classroom, or radio audio records, or even MP3 files on YouTube or Facebook? If your answer is yes, then you may need to use a video editing software (such as, Windows Movie Maker) or multimedia tool (such as MS PhotoStory 3.0) to combine audio with video or still pictures, which is time consuming and require adjusting and timing skills. RealA2V 1.0 uses a smart technique to combine audio source track with one single picture and convert them to one video file, ready for uploading and sharing on YouTube or Facebook.

بالرغم من أن تسجيل أو إعداد عروض الفيديو للطلاب بالمدارس و الجامعات ليس أمراً جديداً، فإن هناك عدداً محدوداً جداً من التطبيقات التي تساعد الأساتذة علي إعداد عروض فيديو تعليمية جذابة و شيقة بسهولة و في وقت قصير جداً. يعمل البرنامج علي مساعدة المعلمين علي تسجيل عروضهم عن طريق دمج محتوى شرائح البوربوينت المعدة مسبقاً، مع ما يؤدونه من رسوم و أشكال توضيحية، و كتابة نصية مباشرة علي الشاسة، و كذلك صوت و صورة المعلم في نافذة واحدة. يساعد الفيديو الذي ينتجه البرنامج المتعلمين علي مشاهدة المعلم مباشرة اثناء العرض و هو يعلق صوتيا، أو يكتب، أو يرسم أمامهم علي الشاشة، أو ينتقل من شريحة إلي أخرى، أو يستعرض أحد مواقع الإنترنت. يمكن للمعلم بعد ذلك أن يضيف الفيديو إلي مقرره الإلكتروني أو موقع اليوتيوب، أو يتبادل ملف الفيديو مع الطلاب عبر أجهزتهم المحمولة. من أهم تطبيقات البرنامج استخدامه لإعداد الفيديو للطلاب المعاقين سمعيا أو ممن يعانون اضطراباً في الإدراك السمعي و يفضلون المواد البصرية.
