Text to video app

A text to video app that respects your words

Text is where most ideas already live: blog posts, lesson notes, product descriptions, policies, sales emails. AutoScribble lets you reuse that writing as video without rewriting it from scratch.

Quick answer

A text to video app converts written text into a video. AutoScribble turns a sentence, a script, a blog article or a document into a narrated whiteboard-style video from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. You can let AI write the script from a short prompt, or keep your exact words so every sentence is narrated as written, with a scene plan that illustrates each point.

Two ways to turn text into video

Short text becomes a prompt. Write "a 60-second video explaining how our free survey works" and AutoScribble writes the full script, then plans the scenes. Long text becomes the script. Paste a finished script or article, turn on exact wording, and AutoScribble narrates it word for word, building the scenes around your sentences.

Either way, you see the script and the scene plan before anything is produced, and editing is free.

Formatting that the video understands

Paste or upload text with bullets, numbered lists, headings, bold and italics, or upload .txt, .md and .rtf files. AutoScribble understands the structure: a bulleted list is narrated as a list with each item illustrated in turn, and headings become natural scene breaks. If any list item is not covered by the scene plan, the app flags it before production.

  • Bullets and numbered lists narrated as lists
  • Headings become scene boundaries
  • Bold text treated as emphasis
  • Upload .txt, .md or .rtf files up to 200 KB
  • Timing estimated from your word count

Text in any of 15 languages

AutoScribble detects the language of your text automatically. Narration and on-screen labels follow it, including right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Urdu, and local numerals and dates are handled correctly. Source references in your text are kept out of the narration.

Getting the length right

Spoken English runs at roughly 150 words per minute. The app shows how long your text will take to speak and compares it with the length you chose. If the text is too short, you can add detail, let AI extend it, or make the video at the chosen length anyway with your exact words. If it is too long, you are asked to shorten it rather than having it silently trimmed.

Repurpose writing into video content

Turn a weekly blog post into a 60-second portrait clip for social media, a policy document into a training video, or a product page into a homepage explainer. Because it is the same text, the message stays consistent across your website, emails and social channels.

Frequently asked questions

What is a text to video app?

It is an app that turns written text into a video with visuals and narration. AutoScribble produces narrated, hand-drawn whiteboard videos from text, with full control over the script.

Will it change my words?

Only if you want it to. Turn on exact wording and your text is narrated word for word. Otherwise AI can tighten or extend the script, and you approve the result before production.

Can I upload a document?

Yes. Upload .txt, .md or .rtf files up to 200 KB, or paste formatted text directly. Lists, headings and emphasis are understood.

How much does it cost?

The app is free to download and every new account gets 100 welcome credits, which makes one full one-minute video or two 30-second videos. After that, 100 credits makes one finished minute of video. You can buy one-off credit packs that never expire or choose a monthly plan. Writing, editing and storyboarding your script is always free; credits are only used when you press Make my video.

Which languages are supported?

AutoScribble detects your script's language automatically and supports 15 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese. The narration and the on-screen words follow the language of your script.

Do the app and the website share the same account?

Yes. Sign in with the same email or Google account and your videos, credits, brand kits, clients and templates are identical on your phone and on autoscribble.com. Start a script on the train and finish it at your desk.
