SlideTalk makes it easy to publish, edit and share PowerPoint presentations, business presentations, tutorials, eLearning material, education material and documentation of events as talking presentations, thanks to using high quality text-to-speech and image processing software to hide from you all boring details of creating a talking video, and leaving you free to focus on the creative and pedagogical tasks.
This looks like a fun way to add a presentation to your VLC without doing too much work.

Scoop.it!
By Jon Mitchell, originally published Aug. 24, 2011
"Today, a NYC-based startup called Jux has launched a personal publishing platform that kicks a field goal right over the heads of Tumblr and the post-blogging crowd. It's a big, beautiful, dynamic tool full of splashy images and sharp Web fonts. It offers six kinds of basic posts: BlockQuote, Article, Photo, Video, SlideShow, and CountDown. You start from there and build huge, full-screen posts that suck the viewer in. It's like a blog that can crank out whole About.me or Flavors.me pages for every post. You have to see itto get how powerful it is.
"Power, of course, is not everything when it comes to publishing. Jux isn't lean like Posterous or clean like WordPress, whose publishing platform powers nearly 15% of the world's websites. Compared to blog posts that feel more like pages, a Jux post is more like a Times Square billboard. It takes some time to load. There's an animated loading bar between screens, especially when editing. But it's worth the wait. Perusing a Jux profile is like taking a deep dive into someone's ideas."
I just came across Jux. It strikes me as a powerful, (relatively) new way to publish on the web. It can also be used to replace presentation apps such as PowerPoint and Prezi. There's a lot happening here. -JL Via Jim Lerman, tom jackson Delete the scoop?

I wasn't too thrilled with the voice-over, but I can forsee utilizing this tool eventually.
Keep up the great curation work.
