In their own words
AutoScribble
AutoScribble turns an idea, script, website or document into a narrated animated whiteboard explainer video. Before generation, it drafts a title, script and visual style for approval; writing and editing the script are free. Finished videos can be portrait, landscape or square, with logo placement, MP4 downloads, and sharing through private links or email. Drawing animation, scene templates and text-to-speech voiceover are available. Generation uses credits: one finished minute costs 100 credits, with shorter videos charged for the seconds delivered. The Free plan is free and includes 100 welcome credits, enough for one one-minute video or two 30-second videos. A one-time 100-credit pack costs $12, paid once; monthly plans include Starter at $25 a month, Pro at $65 a month, Business at $129 a month and Studio at $389 a month. Available on web and Android, AutoScribble keeps videos private by default; finished videos may be used commercially.
