PROBLEM

Making video manuals?
Do you face challenges like these?

  • Filming and editing take time, so only a few people can make them

  • Every procedure change means reshooting

  • Explanations differ from trainer to trainer

  • Your procedure documents don't get through to staff from other countries

With NoLang,

Just add your procedure documents,
and AI turns them into a video manual.

  • No Filming or Recording

    Without filming or recording, NoLang creates videos that show the pages of your procedure document while an AI voice explains the steps.

  • No skipped steps

    Choose "Explain all pages" and NoLang explains every page of your procedure document in order, without skipping.

  • Consistent pronunciation

    You can fix the pronunciation of internal terms and machine names word by word and register them in the dictionary.

  • Update at the same link

    When a procedure changes, fix the script and confirm. People can watch the new version from the link you shared.

HOW IT WORKS

From document to shared video,
in three steps

You can use procedure document and manual PDFs and PowerPoint (PPTX) files as they are. Word and Keynote files work once exported to PDF or PPTX.

  1. Illustration of the screen for adding a procedure document PDF and an additional PPTX to NoLang

  3. Illustration of the screen for reviewing the finished video, editing the script, and sharing it

    STEP 03

    Review, fix, and share with a link

    Review the finished video, fix the script and subtitles, then distribute it with a share link or export it as MP4.

FROM PROCEDURE TO VIDEO

Procedure document items become
video scenes

NoLang builds the video's structure and script from the pages of the procedure document you add. You choose how much of the procedure to explain, and in what wording, from four creation methods.

Explain every step without skipping pages Explains every page of your procedure document in order, without skipping. Suited to tasks where no step can be missed.

Read the script you wrote, exactly as written Write a narration script for each page, and NoLang reads it exactly as written. Suited to procedures where you don't want the approved wording changed.

Use your PowerPoint notes as the script NoLang reads the explanations you wrote in your PPTX speaker notes as the script, as written. PDF files are not supported.

Pick the key pages and keep it short Suited to short videos that give an overview before starting a task. You can choose lengths starting from 30 sec.

  1. Cover, task name

    Opening title

    Shows which task the procedure is for, right at the start.

  2. Purpose and audience

    What this video covers

    Explains what the task is for and who does it.

  3. What you need

    What to prepare before you start

    Checks tools, protective equipment, and materials before starting the task.

  4. Overall flow

    Overview of the procedure

    Shows how many stages the task has, up front.

  5. Steps

    One step, one scene

    Explains the steps one by one, in page order.

  6. Key points and the reasons for them

    Emphasis within a step

    Explains why it is done that way, together with the step.

  7. Cautions and prohibitions

    Caution scene

    Shows what not to do, right next to the step.

  8. Criteria and values

    Keep criteria on screen

    Shows and reads aloud the criteria values, such as tightening torque and time.

  9. Completion check

    Final check

    Shows how to check that the task is complete.

With "Explain key points only," AI chooses which pages to use based on the content of your document. The table above is one example.
You can review and fix the finished script before publishing.

SHOOT ON YOUR PHONE

Footage from your phone,
straight into a video manual

For tasks that don't have a procedure document yet, you can create from footage shot on a phone. Upload the video and choose a method, and AI turns it into a video manual with subtitles or narration.

Choose by how you filmed

Transcribes what you said while working and turns it into subtitles as is. You can set the transcription language and the number of speakers.

Method in the app Transcribe and add subtitles

A video where what was said while filming on a phone became subtitles as is

Adds AI narration that matches the footage. The original audio is not used, so it also works for footage with machine noise.

Method in the app Add narration

Phone footage with AI narration added and the original audio not used

Transcribes your footage and keeps only the key scenes in a short digest video.

Method in the app Summarize into a digest

Long phone footage shortened by keeping only the key scenes

  1. Film on your phone

    Film the task on your phone. MP4, MOV, and WEBM videos are supported.

  2. Add the video and choose a method

    Upload your video under "From video" and choose how to create it. You can also describe what you want in text.

  3. Review and share with a link

    Review the finished video, then distribute it with a share link or export it as MP4.

FILM ONLY WHAT MOVES

Create from your document,
and film only where you need to show motion

You can combine both approaches in one video. Create the setup, order, cautions, and criteria from your procedure document, and add your own footage only for scenes where you want to show hand movements or how much force to use.

WHEN STEPS CHANGE

When procedures change,
publish a new version at the same link

You don't have to remake the video from scratch every time a procedure changes. Just fix the script and confirm, and the video becomes a new version.

  1. Fix the script or images

    In the editor, rewrite the script for the steps that changed. You can also fix images and subtitles.

  2. Regenerate the audio for the scene you fixed

    Use "Regenerate audio" to regenerate the narration for that scene. Audio can be regenerated scene by scene.

  3. Confirm

    Press "Confirm this content" and the video is regenerated as a new version.

  4. People can watch the new version from the link you shared

    Viewing, the share link, and downloads switch to the new version. The video URL stays the same.

LANGUAGES

Your procedures,
in your staff's native languages too

With "Convert language," you can create a video in another language with the script and on-screen text translated. The original video stays, so you can compare the same procedure in two languages.

  • Choose from 34 languages

    Supports 34 languages, including Vietnamese, Indonesian, Tagalog, Nepali, Burmese, Chinese, and English. The available voices depend on the language.

  • The script and on-screen text are translated

    The narration and subtitles are in the language you choose. Images on your document pages and text inside slides are not translated.

  • Review and fix the translation before publishing

    You can fix the translated script in the editor. For safety-related procedures, it's best to have someone who knows the language check it.

SAME EVERY TIME

Keep the same explanation,
no matter who teaches

Wording, pronunciation, who explains, and where to look. Here are NoLang's answers to concerns about conveying procedures correctly.

We don't want the wording changed

We can't have AI rewording the approved text of our procedure documents.

Illustration of the approved text of a procedure document being read aloud as written

With NoLang

Read it exactly as written with "Specify script"

Write a narration script for each page, and NoLang reads it exactly as written. You can also use your PowerPoint speaker notes as the script.

It might mispronounce our internal terms

It might mispronounce terms like "gauge" or "chamfer."

Illustration of the screen for registering the pronunciation of internal terms in the dictionary and changing the reading speed

With NoLang

Fix pronunciation word by word and save it to the dictionary

You can fix the pronunciation of internal terms and machine names word by word, and register up to 1,000 words in the dictionary. You can also change the reading speed.

Explanations vary by trainer

It's the same task, but the order and wording change depending on who teaches it.

Illustration of three video manuals made with the same voice and presenter

With NoLang

The AI voice reads exactly as scripted

The explanation is the same every time, for every viewer. You can save generation settings such as the voice and presenter and reuse them for the next video.

It's hard to show where to look

Just showing the page doesn't make it clear where to look.

Illustration of a screen with arrows, callouts, and subtitles added on top of a photo

With NoLang

Point to it with arrows and callouts

In the editor, you can add shapes such as arrows and callouts, and text, on top of the pages. Subtitles are added automatically to match the narration.

CHECK POINTS

When choosing a video manual tool,
8 points to check

These are points worth checking before adoption, whichever tool you choose. We've added NoLang's answer to each.

  1. CHECK 01 What do you create from?
