UMAJIN is a publishing tool for creating documents and web pages.

UMAJIN is a desktop publishing tool that combines text, photos, cartoons, drawings, sounds, videos, and 3D animations into one document. UMAJIN is a fun program to use as it is so graphical and integrates many types of media effortlessly. This program is suitable for all ages, including early childhood, and as a desktop publishing application it can be integrated into any curriculum area. The 3D animations and cut-outs make digital documents and web pages very interesting for the reader.

Pages can be exported as .jpg image files, documents as Quicktime Movie files, documents for web as .html, and documents can be shared using http://www.myumajin.com.

To download a 30-day trial copy of the program, visit the free trial page.
