Problem with their web page creation is that it is not accessible  
because as they say, it provides "embedded audio".  This is not  
accessibility by any stretch of any standards or guidelines.   
Further, there are well written guidelines for creating acccessible  
powerpoints and they can be exported and used outside of powerpoint.

Many online content providers make extensive use of narrated  
PowerPoint, and I believe this new product is an excellent tool to  
help providers create slick narrated PowerPoint and also make them  
accessible to people with disabilities including those who are deaf  
and who are blind.  Therefore I am forwarding this press release.
