TeleKast is an application you can use for your school, church or any organization which needs features like a script editor, Web document creation (from the scripts) and Kiosk slide show (also from the scripts). Basically, you first create a script and then you can use it for just about anything. Broadcast journalism, whether in a school or professional television studio, can benefit from the built in teleprompter.  You can use the Web document editor to put your news online. The Kiosk is great for slide shows on television, standalone kiosk stations or announcements projected on a screen. Finally, the scripts could be used for purposes such as interviews, feature stories or someone reading when standing in front of a crowd. TeleKast is your means for creative communication.

TeleKast is also open source software. It has been released as open source software protected by a dual license. The Mozilla Public License version 1.1 and the GNU General Public License version 2.0. These licenses should have been included with this version of TeleKast. If you did not receive these licenses, please let us know by going to http://telekast.lightscapesoftware.org and submitting a support request.

Note: This is pre-alpha software. So, the application and the Web site are not complete. However, you may download, use and/or modify the software in its current state. TeleKast is built on the Mozilla Platform. So, it makes heavy use of Mozilla's XML User Interface Language (XUL) and JavaScript. The source code does not need to be compiled. So, you can run TeleKast straight from source if you obtain XUL Runner from Mozilla's Web site (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner). You can look at and/or modify the source from the source downloads. They are separated by operating system because the downloads are compressed using the common method for each OS (.zip for Windows and .tar.gz for Linux). Also, the icons are different for each OS. Mac is not supported at this time because we do not have a Mac to run the application.
