SANS Inc. Announces Version 10.0 of Sony Virtuoso Digital Language Lab
Software
  Providing Efficiencies for File Management and Lesson Development


North Branford, Connecticut $F6 March 2010 - SANS Inc., the developer and
exclusive licensor of Sony language learning software solutions, has just
released Version 10.0 of the Sony Virtuoso Language Learning Instructional
Software suite which includes the Virtuoso Instructor Interface Software and
the Soloist(R) Student Digital PC Comparative Recorder software.  The latest
update to this widely used language learning technology provides language
instructors and students with enhanced functionality for uninterrupted audio
communication and the ability to seamlessly incorporate a wide variety of
audio and video content into their language lab activities.

According to Ron Remschel, SANS President, $E3We continue to improve an
already robust and feature- rich software suite keeping in mind the
capability for language educators to provide their students with a multitude
of relevant content from the vast resources that are readily available
universally.$E4 

Technical enhancements include adding more processing efficiency to audio
and video files used within the system by means of a new SANS developed
utility -  SANSMedia$FA; increased support for a variety of file formats
including Adobe(R) Flash(R) video, Apple(R) .aiff files, and Unicode based text
files; and new built-in visual prompts for a precise, real-time, view of
student audio recordings.  

A new addition to the instructor authoring tools in the Soloist software is
an $E3Audio Extractor$E4 tool enabling an audio stream to be $E3extracted$E4
from an
existing video file and saved as a separate file.  This tool provides more
possibilities for language teachers to use audio and video content
creatively to develop unique pedagogically sound lessons based on specific
skill development goals.
