    33== About Sophie == 
    4  * '''Sophie''' is an advanced tool for authoring, reading, and publishing electronic books. It allows users to easily create books that can contain any type of media they have on hand – text, images, sounds, videos, and animations. Sophie does for media what a physical book does for text and images: with Sophie, authors can create multimedia books. Sophie allows the easy construction of documents that are designed to live on a network and use multimedia and time in ways that are currently difficult, if not impossible. Sophie transforms the way people go about reading and writing in screen-based environments. Sophie’s goal is to open up the world of multimedia authoring to a wide range of people and institutions. [[BR]] 
    5  You can get Sophie Author 1.0 and Sophie Reader 1.0 from [http://sophieproject.cntv.usc.edu here]. [[BR]] 
    6  The goal of Sophie 2 is to take the good aspects of the existing Sophie and optimize them and to add features as well as to remove others based on user feedback. [[BR]] 
    7  You might want to read more about the history of Sophie2 or about [http://asteasolutions.net Astea Solutions]. If so, click [wiki:SCS_SITE_DESIGN/About here].
