February brings several new enhancements to improve your myViewBoard experience.

New Menu Options

The Settings menu gets two new options:

  • We added Tamil to our list of supported languages. To switch to Tamil, click the gear icon on the title bar, and select Tamil from the language options.
  • The settings menu now includes the option to change the language of the handwriting recognition feature. Click the Handwriting Recognizer selection to see available languages.

Enhancements to the myViewBoard Experience

To start off, we’ve updated the splash screen!

New splash screen

When using the selection tool, selected objects will now have an orange outline. This makes it easier to identify selected objects against the new default white background.

Selected objects now use an orange outline.

Additionally, images received via the PopQuiz feature will no longer be stretched and will be shown in their original aspect ratio.

Saving a .vBoard file no longer clears the undo and redo history, so you have less worries during lesson creation. Note that myViewBoard offers unlimited undo actions so feel free to experiment to your heart’s content.
