Press Release Body: Harbinger Knowledge Products has announced the release of new
version 4.7 of Raptivity, the award-winning eLearning software. The new release
includes sound recorder, in-depth support to voiceover and advanced layout
customization options among many other features.

The sound recorder is the most appealing addition in this new release. Now users can
record their own narration, voice-overs and attach those to their interactions. Of
course they can also bring in pre-recorded voices, music or sound effects. The
course designers now do not have to open another sound recorder to record and attach
sound for their interactions. The sound recorder is available right inside Raptivity
which can be opened with just one click. This recorder can be used to record sound
for all interactions where sound can be applied.

"Among many other useful features, this new release brings in very in-depth
voiceover functionality for Raptivity interactions. This allows the interactivity
designers to attach voiceover at very pertinent places in their interactions. For
example: when the leaner flips the flash card, they can attach some narration to
play. Or when the learner visits a particular page of the interactive eBook, they
can make the learner listen to sound related to that page. So the sound is not
limited to only introduction or background but it goes much beyond that to provide a
true learning experience to the learner", said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing
Director, Harbinger Group.

Raptivity new release also brings in advanced layout customization options for
Raptivity interactions. With this enhanced editing, the interactivity designers get
a greater control over the look and feel of the interactivity. They can now move the
objects like pictures and text and also resize them as per need.

"Many of Raptivity users used to ask us about layout customization. Some users
wanted to have bigger boxes for descriptions or feedback on questions, some wanted
to have more space for bigger logo on survey interactions and some wanted to make
the buttons larger. All this is possible now with the enhanced editing options. This
makes it possible for the course designers to create interactions which can fit well
inside their course pages", added Seema Chaudhary, Director, Business Development.

With the release 4.7, the features of advanced layout customization and in-depth
voiceover functionality are available for all the interactions that are shipped with
Raptivity Essential and Raptivity Zest. Very soon, these features will be available
for interactions in other packs as well.

Raptivity was recently voted number one in time to proficiency and complex practice
and assessment interaction building according to a global survey by eLearning Guild.
