from Paul Cameron, CEO of Booktrack
Booktrack, the company that
amplifies peoples stories by adding a movie style soundtrack while you read to
provide a modern reading experience is launching our new product
today in San Francisco called
Booktrack Studio that allows anyone to create a movie-style Soundtrack for any
text that then automatically synchronizes to the readers pace. Users can choose
from over 20,000 audio files, which is a combination of music, ambiance audio,
and sound effects and then self publish it on the web - all for free.
This
is a worlds first, invented by software engineers in Takapuna and being taken
to the world with the support of Google in the USA, and funded by notable
investors such as Peter Thiel, Park Road Post Productions, Sparkbox Ventures,
and Sir Stephen Tindal. Children will be able to add a soundtrack to the story
they write at school, or if you are studying Shakespeare the teacher can assign
students to create a soundtrack for a verse of Romero & Juliet. Serious
authors and publishers can equally create new story experiences for their fans.
Reading is important and we want to make sure it remains relevant for the next generation too. Check out the latest Booktrack promo video here, and my TEDx talk here
