Video script generator

An AI model has not seen your software, and it cannot tell which version you are running. It can write a convincing line about a menu that was renamed last year. So the tool treats the steps you typed as the only reliable source. Any action that did not come from them is marked, and the text tells you to check it in the real app. If you give no steps at all, every action is marked.

The model is also told not to name exact buttons, menus or shortcuts you did not give, and to describe the goal instead, such as “open the page where you manage exports”. Whatever it had to assume is listed at the top of the result. Work through that list with the software open. Tick a step once you have confirmed it. The marks stay in the copied text and the download, so a guess is still labelled as a guess when you share the script with someone else.

The estimate comes from the text on the page, not from the model, and it updates as you edit. It counts the words in each Say box and the conclusion, divides them by your speaking rate, then adds every step's Extra seconds. Headings, prerequisites and common mistakes are not read aloud, so they are not counted. The rate starts at 140 words per minute, a steady pace for explaining software, and you can change it to match your own.

Treat it as an estimate. The tool also shows the time if you read 10% faster or slower, because a real take rarely matches a rehearsal. Your target length is a guide for the writer, and a script can come back a little over or under it. To measure your own pace, paste the script into the script timer and rehearse with its stopwatch. An outline shows no estimate, because its short points are not what you will say. Choose Write full script when you are ready for one.

Open in teleprompter takes the script as you have edited it, with your line breaks, and loads it into the free teleprompter. Each on-screen action appears on its own line in square brackets, so you can see when to click. The script passes through your browser tab's own storage rather than the web address, so it does not end up in your history or in anyone's logs. Going back returns you to your edits in the same tab.

The teleprompter does not save the script unless you choose to remember it. If you have an earlier script saved there, it stays saved until you do. Before a real take, read through once while doing every step. This shows you where a page loads slowly or a line is too long to say comfortably, and you can fix it before you press record.

A two-column table in Google Docs or Word does the same job by hand: narration on the left, screen actions on the right. It takes longer, but every step comes from the app in front of you. Another good method is to record a rough take while talking through the task, turn the speech into text with the video to text tool, and tidy that into a script. General AI chat assistants can write scripts too, though you will need to ask for the structure yourself, and they will not mark the steps they guessed.

The generator is for tutorials up to 10 minutes. A topic can be up to 300 characters and known steps up to 4,000. It is free with a limit of 10 scripts an hour from one connection, and a daily limit across all visitors, so it can be busy at times. If it cannot finish, your details stay on the page and you can try again. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on a computer or a phone, and it needs an internet connection. It cannot open your software, read a YouTube link or check whether a step is right. That last part is yours.
