This sounds like it would absolutely ruin the internet as a resource for how-to videos. When anyone can use massive amounts of data scraping and underpaid labor to make extremely low quality videos and spam youtube with them, actually half decent how-to videos will get completely lost. Not to mention, you can just put something completely wrong on without making it immediately obvious.<p>Imagine Roel Van de Paar[1] except anyone can easily do it and the quality isn&#x27;t so bad that it gets lost in the algorithm.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;roelvandepaar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;roelvandepaar</a>

Fine idea, but I believe the better issue to tackle here is:<p>- how do I easily create and display how-to guides?<p>Maybe it&#x27;s just me, but how-to videos are not as easily consumable as a simple step-by-step guide on a single page. All tools, I&#x27;ve tried for creating the latter, suck. Any ideas for that? :)

Quick change to the text on &#x2F;pdf-to-video<p>&quot;Do you often find yourself explaining about the documents to your clients or team? Now, let the AI do this for you with WowTo.&quot;<p>This doesn&#x27;t sound native. I would change it to &quot;Do you often find yourself explaining documents to your clients or team? Now, let the WowTo AI do the explaining for you.&quot;

I was expecting to see a video above the fold, made with wowto.ai, about what wowto.ai is.

I played the example video (&quot;how to change language in Slack&quot;). I liked the result as a video, but I kept thinking that I&#x27;d like it even more as a regular article.<p>If the input is photo and text then I think I&#x27;d prefer to consume it by just looking at photos and text. What&#x27;s the value of generating a video out of them?<p>For context, I do watch how to videos too, but I do that for actions that are harder to describe with just text and pictures; like learning an instrument, whittling, skateboarding, etc. It&#x27;s very likely that I&#x27;m not the target audience.

We are eager to announce to the HN community the public release of &quot;WowTo&quot; - software for creating How-To videos.<p>Pain point: Creating How-To videos which can be tutorials, guides, step-by-step walkthroughs or video slideshows are difficult to create with current video editors in the market. Because they target a wide base so either they lack certain much needed features for creating How-tos or becomes complex to edit the video with their timelines.<p>Solution: This presented us an opportunity, to address this problem with WowTo. It has a video editor that is specially created for making HowTo videos. Infact our first beta testers are elementary children who were comfortable using our product without any assistance or documentation.<p>Here is a list of features that makes WowTo - Wow!: WowTo makes it easy to create howto videos with its natural AI voiceover feature, intuitive editor and multi-lingual support.<p>* No technical or creative knowledge required for creating videos.<p>* Select from 300+ AI voices with different languages<p>* Update videos for voice or content in just a snap<p>* With WowTo, let viewers listen in their native language instead of subtitles<p>You can also create HowTo videos from a variety of sources:<p>* Turn PDF document to a HowTo video<p>* Make a HowTo video from powerpoint in a single click and let your presentation do all the talking<p>* Use our Chrome extension to capture workflow steps as a HowTo video<p>* Have a screen-recording? Simply import it into WowTo and magically convert your voice to script<p>For more details visit our just released website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wowto.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wowto.ai</a> Feel free to signup - there is a 7-day no credit card trial.

Interesting product. It&#x27;s not targeted at me specifically, but I could see it getting a lot of adoption. If this <i>also</i> had a programmatic API for video generation I would have some personal use cases for it! But I don&#x27;t mean to say it should be an API&#x2F;programmatic focused product because there are <i>so</i> many people who can&#x27;t be served by tooling like that due to lack of programming knowledge.

Nice project, congratulations. I think there&#x27;s definitely a use case, and for those crying &#x27;Youtube spam&#x27;, it&#x27;s going to get expensive quite quickly if that&#x27;s your application. One thing I would say though, is that your pricing could be improved. I would take a long hard look at Loom&#x27;s pricing. It&#x27;s designed to encourage both use and virality. Which are both essential to scale up. Don&#x27;t limit the free trial to 7 days, and increase the number of free videos and time limit. But restrict distribution and make the watermark the motivator to shift to a paid plan. Lots of things you can play with to test adoption and referral.

Thank you! It looks great! Just to understand the plans, p. example in &quot;Plus&quot; are you limiting the number of projects per month to 10 with each having a maximum of 10 minutes? So, with 10$ in a month I can create a maximum of 10 videos where each cannot have more than 10 minutes? In the following month can I create another new 10 videos? Do I fully own the copyrights of the generated videos? To publish them anywhere?

There was a very nice software called studio1 (defunct now i think) which allowed you to write phantomjs scripts (using a chrome extension) to create how to videos like this.<p>So instead of an image slideshow it was a very smooth video where it looked as if it was an actual screen recording and much easier to follow. Might be worth investigating as a feature upgrade, since that site shutdown.

If this is as easy as it looks, I can almost imagine creating personalized videos to help individual customers in tech support. Like Windows Steps recorder but with a publishable-quality output.

This look interesting. I&#x27;ll need to test it out. I&#x27;m a, little it puzzled what does subtitle support means. I guess it is possible to embed them directly into video.

I am interested in how OP tested idea before making this product. I had similar idea but many people disliked AI voice, so I didn&#x27;t make it.

Quite impressive for a MVP and it has a large target market.<p>I couldn&#x27;t find what languages are supported at the moment?

Do you have sample outputs? Hard to tell what I can expect from the product.

Not a native speaker. It looks interesting for me. But I am not sure if the voiceover quality is good
