What do you like best about Kotobee Author?

I love this platform so much. It is capable of doing so many incredible things to fit the needs of our upcoming library. The most amazing part of this whole process has been the customer service aspect. Nadeen Amr is possibly the best customer service rep for a company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She answers every question I have had (and I have had a lot of them)! She answers thoroughly and leaves no questions unanswered. For months we have been working on a project and she is always there for us when we need help or have more questions. I have had over 5 Zoom calls with her to discuss, and get in-depth with some product features. She is so helpful and always has an amazing attitude. I can't say enough about her :) I am lucky to have her help through this harrowing process of creating an online library. Thank you so, Nadeen.

As for the product itself, its ease of use is immaculate, and so easy to upload and integrate with other systems and our website. I am so excited to really start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kotobee Author?

User-friendly authoring tools for multimedia material building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kotobee Author?

I need to still work through the full process from authoring through packaging to delivering; currently nothing I dislike. I could not package with my trial, nor deliver to my mobile as a trial. The trial version reported "file too large" even though it was only 19Mb, less than afforded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kotobee Author:

If Kotobee delivers on all it states as its capabilities, you need not look further for interactive E-learning or E-training material for the full range of e-delivery. I can unfortunately not give a full recommendation yet because I am still to use the unrestricted version of the authoring tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kotobee Author solving and how is that benefiting you?

Embedding audio and video into a fixed layout manuscript for Epub. Embedding is seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
