〈No Need for Professional Narrators: Voice Synthesis Function〉
The "voice synthesis function" that reads narration with artificial voices is also convenient. Since there is no need to rely on professional narrators, it is possible for one person to complete all stages of material production just by working at their desk.

〈SCORM Function〉
Generally, in order to operate and manage e-learning, the materials are installed in the LMS (Learning Management System). This is called "SCORM conversion※" of the materials, but in order to convert the materials to SCORM, specialized knowledge and skills are required, such as defining communication with the LMS. However, with iSpring Suite, you can simply select a menu to export the materials as SCORM.

※Create data that works as designed on the LMS by complying with the SCORM standard. By making it SCORM-compliant, it becomes possible to manage learning history and test pass/fail on the LMS.

Variety of Materials Collection
iSpring Suite offers approximately 90,000 materials such as teaching templates, characters, locations, icons, and buttons. By combining these, you can easily create content without the need for illustration or material photography.
In addition, a variety of question templates are also available, making it easy to create quizzes and surveys.

What we have introduced is just a part of the diverse features covered by iSpring Suite. In addition, it includes convenient functions such as narration language translation and collaborative editing tools. By utilizing these, you can expect a reduction in the time, effort, and costs involved in creating educational content.
