Original Press Release:
TextTime Revolutionizes Editorial Workflows
BERLIN, November 15 / / -- Editorial workflow specialists Code Couture from Berlin
announce a new, indispensable tool for newsrooms producing podcasts, radio and TV bulletins or other audio-based media for cross-media applications. For copy editors it is now possible to easily project texts into a fourth
dimension: time.
Until today, texts have traditionally been measured by word-counts, character counts, lines, inches or centimeters. These units are standard at magazines, newspapers and websites, but for podcasts or video productions they are pretty much useless. Converting text lengths into reading lengths has been a matter of estimation until now. TextTime solves the problem by determining the reading length of any text as it is being composed. Writers and editors can tell in a flash how long their texts will take to be read for broadcast. There are five standard reader settings.
TextTime makes it possible for editors to write texts which can be immediately processed for cross-media platforms.
TextTime becomes a component of the software preferred by editors such as Adobe InCopy(R) or Microsoft Word(R). Specify a given limit, and TextTime marks the text, indicating how much has to be cut/added to come in on time. TextTime retails for 79 euros and is available for Adobe
InCopy(R) at code-couture.com. TextTime for Microsoft Word(R) is scheduled for release shortly.
