Policy document to video

The policy stays the policy. The video makes it stick.

Upload the policy. Its text is read and drafted into a spoken summary you edit, then a presenter you choose delivers a finished video that explains the policy and points to the document as the authority.

The detail, in plain English

A policy video is a summary, never a replacement. The written document remains the version that governs, and the video should say so in as many words.

Staff remember rules as scenarios. Two short examples of the rule in practice do more than a careful reading of the clause it comes from.

What to do, step by step

  1. 1Upload the approved versionUse the current signed-off document, and note its version in your own records.
  2. 2Summarise, then illustrateState what the policy requires, give two everyday examples, and say who to ask when it is unclear.
  3. 3State the authority and produceInclude a line saying the written policy prevails, then choose a presenter and produce it.

A worked example

Worked example (illustration). An eight-page expenses policy becomes a 95-second video: what can be claimed, the two limits people most often get wrong, who approves, and a closing line that the written policy is the authority.

What to watch out for

  • Say explicitly that the written document prevails over the summary.
  • Policies are versioned; record which version each video summarises.
  • Never soften an obligation for the sake of a friendlier script.

How AutoPersonify does it

PDF, Word, plain text and Markdown files are read in your browser, and a public web address can be read for you. Everything else is pasted in as text.

Questions people ask

How long does it take?

Half an hour for the script, plus your approval cycle. Compliance review usually takes longer than everything else combined.

Can I change the wording?

You can change how the summary is phrased, but not what it requires. Send the spoken script through the same approval route as the policy.

What does it cost?

Free to try. Organisations summarising a policy set — often ten to twenty videos a year — normally sit on Starter £49 a month.
