New Question Type: Choose-Missing-Words
A new question type is now available in Kotobee Author. Readers are presented with a sentence containing blank spaces and can select the appropriate answer for each blank from an associated dropdown list.
Clickable Image Hotspots
Create interactive images with clickable regions using the new Image Hotspot tool. Each region can display a popup when readers click or hover over it, giving you more flexibility when adding explanations, labels, and additional information to images.
AI-Generated Questions from Your Content
When creating AI-generated questions, you no longer need to enter a subject. Instead, you can have the questions generated based on the current chapter or selected text. This is useful when you want to quickly create questions that are directly relevant to the content you're working on.
Disable Screenshots in Mobile Apps
You can now prevent users from taking screenshots in your exported mobile apps. This option is available in the mobile app customization settings. It gives you greater control over how your ebook content is captured and shared, which can be especially useful when distributing copyrighted, proprietary, or sensitive content through mobile apps.
Push Notifications for Mobile Apps
Exported mobile apps now support push notifications. You can send notifications to users who have your app installed, even when the app is not currently open. You can also configure what happens when a user taps a notification, allowing you to direct them to specific content or actions within the app. If you do not need push notifications, you can disable them from the mobile app export settings.
OpenAPI API Documentation
Kotobee's backend API is now documented using OpenAPI, and a Swagger file is available for download. This is particularly useful for developers and technical teams integrating Kotobee with other systems. The API documentation provides a clearer reference for available endpoints and makes it easier to explore and build integrations with Kotobee platform.
Video Duration Badges
Kotobee Author's integrated media library gives you access to free photos and video footage that you can browse through and add directly to your ebook. With this update, video results now display the duration of each video in seconds. This makes it easier to quickly compare footage and choose a clip that fits your ebook without having to open each video first.
