Lingsoft Reveals the Secrets of Sailing

Purjehdus tunnissa (Sailing in One Hour), the guide for sailors and landlubbers alike, is an easy going glossary, a multi-channel media product, that divulges the secrets of sailing. The glossary contains terms that beginning sailing enthusiasts and guest sailors should really get to know. Thanks to the quality content written by expert sailors the text also engages those who have been sailing for years. The glossary was launched at the Helsinki boat show on Friday 6.2.2009. The distribution of 30, 000 free copies also started at the show.

Vocabulary in one hour

The glossary is part of Lingsoft Inc.'s multi-channel One-Hour Words series of publications. The idea is to choose a topic and then compress the core content into the form of a glossary. The final product is reminiscent of an encyclopaedia, but every One-Hour Words glossary can be read in just one hour.

Prize winning integrated marketing innovation

In the series format the glossaries are published and delivered over four separate media channels. In addition to the traditional paper version One-Hour Words glossaries can be viewed on mobile phones, downloaded via the Internet as ebooks and heard aloud using synthesized speech audio-books. The New Technology Foundation awarded Lingsoft an innovation prize for the One-Hour Words concept which integrates new technologies and new forms of marketing.
