Cambridge, MA – IZOTOPE, INC. is pleased to announce that TechSmith Corp. of Okemos, MI have licensed iZotope's VocalEnhance and AudioRestore technologies for use in the latest version of Camtasia Studio.

Camtasia Studio is a complete solution for recording, editing and sharing rich screen video presentations. Pairing a powerful feature set and intuitive controls, it is well suited for beginners and professionals who need to work quickly and efficiently to create video presentations for use on the web, CD, or portable media players.

The combination of these technologies allows users to get excellent audio results with little or no interaction.

"iZotope has established a reputation as one of the premier innovators in audio technology," said Troy Stein, Camtasia Studio Product Manager. "The addition of their DSP greatly enhances the audio capability of Camtasia Studio. Our customers record their audio in really challenging environments. iZotope's DSP makes them sound great and makes us look good!"
