Claro Software would like to congratulate Francesca Flohr in completing the London Marathon. Francesca was running to raise money for the British Dyslexia foundation and was able to complete the course in a fantastic time of 4 hours and 8 minutes.
Claro Software was proud to contribute to Francesca’s sponsored marathon, which has so far raised over £1000 for the BDA. The money donated will help the association to continue its good work with supporting people with dyslexia and their families through a UK-wide network of local associations. To donate now click here
Last Thursday saw the annual KPMG football competition. The match, between the KPMG Dream Team Vs The Rest of the World, took place at Deepdale, the home of Preson North End.
KPMG, our financial accountants, asked for representatives to play in the match. Dave Stevens and Alex Houghton went down to represent Claro and both had a great game.
At the end of a hard fought 90 minutes the teams were deadlocked at 2-2, meaning that penalties were needed to decide the winner.
Dave Stevens, Director at Claro Software, scored the winning penalty for the KPMG Dream Team.

Claro Software representatives meet up with the Swedish team earlier this month. Svensk Talteknologi, our Swedish partners, are having great success promoting the Claro Software range in Sweden and are planning to launch in the Nordic regions later this year.
Claro Software is delighted to announce that Anders Abrahamsson, from our Swedish partners Svensk TalTeknologi, has been awarded the Karlshamn Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2009.
The award, presented to Anders by the Chairman Sigvard Andersoon and Alderman Sven-Ake Svensson, was awarded in recognition of his innovative software company that has assisted users with reading and writing support.
When Anders Abrahamsoon moved to Karlshamn in 2000, he had already started up his business, Svensk Talteknologi (Swedish Speech Technology). Originally targeting the speech recognition and speech synthesis market, the company has increasingly focused on Text-to-Speech solutions, such as ClaroRead.
An important part of the business success has been getting their software into schools and colleges. Around 70,000 school computers in Sweden now have the software installed to assist students with reading and writing.
The next aim for Anders and Svensk Talteknologi is to launch their product range in the Nordic region. Claro Software would like to wish Anders and his company every success in the future.
This year’s BETT show was another great success. The event, hosted at the Olympia in London, is the world’s largest educational technology event. This year was no exception, with large crowds battling the recent poor weather to attend the show. We invited our Swedish Partners Svensk Talteknologi to join us at the stand to demonstrate our international product range to customers from around the globe, making this a truly global event.
The BETT 2010 show was an ideal opportunity to showcase the new products and updates that we will be releasing over the coming year, including ClaroIdeas, SymWord and the latest edition of ClaroRead for PC V5.5. Claro Software representatives were on-hand, demonstrating the latest product range updates and editions.
ClaroIdeas, the latest idea mapping solution from Claro Software, is an easy to use visual software package designed to assist users and groups to capture their ideas and files with more freedom and flexibility. Introduced for the first time at BETT 2010 we received some excellent positive feedback and reactions to this simple to use yet powerful software solution.

Launching early 2010, ClaroIdeas is an easy to use, powerful and fresh visual software solution for the creation of Idea Maps. ClaroIdeas will help users and groups to capture their ideas, pictures, research notes, web links, audio and video files with more freedom, flexibility and creativity.
Idea Maps allow a user to focus on bringing together thoughts and related content in various formats, and are a recognised way to maximise learning potential, improve problem-solving, enhance research and aid revision.
Once created, Idea Maps can be exported to a Microsoft Word document, PowerPoint presentation, PDF file and smart phone compatible images – great for presentation and revision on the move.
