Modular Suite
Our software is built on a modular principle. Embird Basic program is a hub to which all modules, also called plug-ins, are connected. Modules extend functionality of Embird with Digitizing Tools, Cross Stitch, Iconizer, etc. These modules are optional add-ons for Embird Basic, which means that it is not necessary to buy them all. It is possible to buy only those modules you need. Embird Basic program can be used also as a stand-alone application without add-on modules. The modules, however, cannot be used as a stand-alone applications. They need Embird Basic to work with.
To find out more about Embird and its plug-in modules, please click icons on above dashboard.
