There are quite a few tools available for creating digital photo slideshows with attractive features, but Ashampoo SeeYa stands out as a “rare gem” due to its ability to record narration directly onto each photo in your collection.
Using Ashampoo SeeYa (AS) is very simple. You click the “Add” button to import any photo from a specific theme folder into AS.
To record narration, select the photo you want to explain by clicking on it -> press the “Record” button and narrate the content of the photo using a microphone connected to your computer. Once you finish narrating, press the “Stop” button to end the recording.
Repeat the process of adding text and narration for each photo until you’ve covered your entire collection. A speaker icon and a musical note will appear before each photo in the “Pictures in Slideshow” list, indicating that the photo has been narrated.
You can also add captions for each photo in the Text box in the “Picture’s Preview and Text” area, and this caption will appear in a corresponding Text box during the slideshow.
Once you have completed the narration or captioning for the photos, click the “Go” button to start the slideshow creation process. You can choose “Create a Compact-mode Slideshow” to minimize the file size of the presentation or select “Create a full-mode Slideshow” to maintain the original size of all photos.
After finishing, you can name and save the slideshow to a folder or send it to friends via email. The created slideshow will be in EXE format, and double-clicking this file will automatically start the presentation, playing sound for the narrated images.
You can view your slideshow in “FullScreen View” mode or within AS’s presentation window, as well as set the viewing duration for each photo.
The GMBH company and Net-Album are selling this attractive tool for $20. Users can visit here to download a trial version of Ashampoo SeeYa 2.0 with a size of approximately 4.2 MB or find it for purchase at software stores.
