Word document to video
The document that went round by email, delivered on camera instead.
Upload the .docx file. Its text is read in your browser and drafted into a spoken script you can edit. Choose a presenter from 143, and the finished video is produced for you in minutes.
The detail, in plain English
Word documents are usually written to be edited, not spoken. They carry tracked wording, headings, bullet lists and the occasional table, and all of it arrives as plain text you then shape.
The headings are the gift. They already tell you the running order, so the fastest route is one or two spoken sentences per heading and nothing else.
What to do, step by step
- 1Save it as .docx and uploadOlder .doc files need saving as .docx or PDF first. Once uploaded, the words appear in the script box.
- 2Turn headings into a running orderKeep the heading sequence, write one to two sentences under each, and delete everything that only makes sense on paper.
- 3Produce and circulateChoose a presenter, produce the video and send the link instead of the attachment.
What this format looks like as a video
| In the document | What you get |
|---|---|
| Headings | Your running order |
| Bullet lists | Plain sentences you rewrite |
| Tables | Text in reading order — rewrite as prose |
| Comments and tracked changes | Not read; accept changes first |
| Images | Not read; describe them if they matter |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). A four-page internal process update with six headings becomes a 90-second video: one sentence per heading, plus a closing line telling staff where the full document lives.
What to watch out for
- Accept or reject tracked changes before uploading, so the draft script is the final wording.
- Headers, footers and page numbers can appear as stray lines — delete them from the script.
- Long bulleted lists sound like a shopping list when spoken; pick the three that matter.

Questions people ask
How long does it take?
A short document is usually a ten-minute job end to end. The upload and reading are instant; the time goes on trimming the wording so it sounds spoken rather than written.
Can I change the wording?
Every line is yours to change. Many teams rewrite the opening sentence entirely, because a document's first line rarely works as a spoken hook.
What does it cost?
Nothing to try — the free tier includes a real finished video without a card. After that, plans run from Starter £49 to Scale £499 a month.
