ProfCast has been available for sometime for the Mac for recording lectures including PowerPoint and/or Keynote slides for creating enhanced podcasts.  I am excited to share that SnapKast for the PC has just been released and it also is easy to use to create enhanced podcasts now on the PC side!

Record:  Capture your Presentation

Simply launch ProfCast or SnapKast, add your presentation that you want to deliver and press the start "record" button!  Then give your presentation the way you normally would.  When you are finished with the presentation, simply end it, click the "Stop" recording button, and click "Publish".  Both ProfCast and SnapKast are very easy to use.

 
Tips for Recording PowerPoint(PC or MAC) or Keynote(Mac) Sessions in ProfCast or SnapKast.
URL Links:  If you have embedded a URL (http://www....) link into your PowerPoint/Keynote, the "clicked" URL is not recorded in SnapKast or ProfCast.  Your voice will be recorded though.   If your URL is listed in the PowerPoint, the viewer can click on his/her own browser to open the URL.
Movies and Sounds: Do not insert movies and sounds in the PowerPoint/Keynote file.  Post the movies or sounds where they are accessible via a URL (e.g. on a web site) and include the full URL link in the PowerPoint slide so the viewer can access it.
Slide Show Attributes:  Most PowerPoint/Keynote slide attributes are not supported, e.g. action buttons, animations, transitions, hide slide.  Simple create each step in a slide building methoda as separate PowerPoint/Keynote slides.  A neat feature on SnapKast is the pen/mouse annotations.
