iSpring Suite 8.0. Coming Soon.
After 10 years on the market, iSpring will release the 8th version of iSpring Suite this October.
The new version, with the brand-new Conversation Trainer and Screen Recording Tool, puts even more power into the hands of busy developers. This unique functionality, delivered with a state-of-the-art user experience, can’t be found in standard e-Learning packages. New authoring options are implemented at the highest quality level, which is traditional for all iSpring software.
Be the first to learn more about all the new features: check out the new version!
Conversation Trainer
The iSpring TalkMaster covers one of the most common cases for staff training. It helps design communication exercises for training employees to deal with customers more effectively.
Conversation creation is fast and easy, like all activities powered by iSpring: just arrange questions and answers in a tree structure, and add a character from the iSpring Character Library.
TalkMaster can be used not only for staff training, but also checking on their progress. All you need to do is enable evaluation and set point values for correct answers.
Screen Recording Tool
Though this feature is essential for virtually all course creators, it is not common among leading e-Learning packages. With the iSpring Screen Recording Tool, you can easily create screencasts by recording screen activity.
Convert recorded videos to mp4, upload them to YouTube, or insert onto your slides right away. Your screencast can be instantly edited and updated using iSpring Video Editor.
Audio/Video Editor
Easily add professional audio and video to your slides while you are creating a course: delete audio fragments, apply audio fade-in and fade-out to a fragment, and remove background noise with this easy-to-use and intuitive Audio/Video Editor which doesn’t require special knowledge.
VideoLecture Player
The VideoLecture Player is specially designed to deliver presentations with videos (e.g., recordings from conferences, marketing materials, etc.). The player window is shared 50/50 by the presentation slides and presenter video. The slide/video proportion can be changed on the fly, to focus on the part of your course which is most important at any given moment.
Quiz Maker
The enhanced Quiz Maker introduces a new, improved quiz editing experience. Easier than ever, you can customize question design for several slides at once: change themes, layouts and color background for a specified number of questions in one click.

Tell us what feature YOU can’t wait to try in the comments below!
It would be very useful a feature of drag and drop for quizzes. When can we have this kind of functionality?
Appreciate your interest to this article!
The first release of iSpring QuizMaker 8 (version 8.0) will not have this functionality. However, new features and options will be added gradually and more enhancements will be implemented in version 8.1 (free minor upgrade).
Will you support Right to Left lang. in the new QuizMaker?
Thanks for your question, Itzik!
Right to left language support has not yet been included in iSpring QuizMaker 8, due to some technical constraints. Our developers plan to work around these constraints, so RTL languages may be supported in a future version.
Will there be a record audio option for answers in Quizmaker 8?
My thanks to iSpring team for this new version, however, I can not leave the Camtasia. ISpring unfortunately not yet allows markings and drawings on the screen while you record.
Hi. I recently bought ispring suite 7 (education). Am I applicable for an upgrade to version 8?
Thank you for questioning!
Regret to say that, but the recording will not be implemented in version 8.0.
And we do not have this option on our roadmap as this can make the program heavier and more unstable.
Thank you for your question!

Hi, Marcelo, and thank you for your feedback!
As our Screen Recording tool has just been released, there are still some features we plan to add to it. If there are any other capabilities you are interested in seeing in iSpring, please let us know, or send them directly to support@ispringsolutions.com.
That’s to bad, some of the students I work with have learning disabilities and need the audio cue when the picture is moused over. Is there any way to do that?
The thing is that LMSs will not trace such interactions since SCORM, AICC, xAPI standards will not submit this in the system.
There are no identifiers for media components that are embedded into quizzes or courses.
We are very sorry about this limitation, but this one is not only iSpring limitation.
It’s still ok for me to wish!
And I LOVE quizmaker, its a great product!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback :)
I like the new features, just one question. Is there a option to export the audio to a different audio format ?
Hi, Charles, and thank you for your question!
The only audio format iSpring can output to is .mp3. Is there a specific format you are interested in?
The dialogue manager is great!
1. Does the scoring in dialog manager get sent to the LMS and what data is sent via xAPI and SCORM?
2. Will dialogue manager support scoring against multiple variables like a full simulation? The beta has the option to create a score per choice only.
Hi Ken!
Thank you for your question!
1) Dialogs have another scoring logic than quizzes. The scenes in the dialog do not have separate IDs, so in the SCORM package they report only about total score and Passed/Failed status.
2) If you do not enable Dialog evaluation in it’s settings, it won’t send this data to LMS. This is how it looks in publishing settings: http://i.imgur.com/FUx7a3C.png
This tool is already release right now? I am interested to test this for some video and audio editing projects. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
