CINCINNATI -- Trivantis Corporation announced the release of the Lectora 2007 line of authoring and publishing tools, which includes 50 new features that make it possible to create a wider variety of elearning content and do it faster than ever before.

Trivantis credits many of the additions and improvements to Lectora 2007 to those who use Lectora. "The bottom line is we listen," said Trivantis founder and Chief Software Architect, Tim Loudermilk.

Consequently, they see themselves as stakeholders and they provide valuable input about what they want Lectora to do. We thank them for their suggestions. When they see Lectora 2007, they will know that we take their ideas seriously."

Lectora's 2007 enhancements add to its core strengths of ease of use and speed. "Some of the new features provide instantly accessible resources at the users' fingertips such as templates and clip art, while others automate otherwise tedious tasks such as managing resource files or checking for Section 508 compliance," said Ben Contra, Trivantis Executive Vice President. "Those who are familiar with Lectora will soon discover a long list of time-saving features. Those who are new to Lectora will find a powerful authoring tool that will surprise them in its ability to turn inexperienced content developers into pros."

Some of the new features for 2007 include:
