We are eager to announce to the HN community the public release of "WowTo" - software for creating How-To videos.

Pain point: Creating How-To videos which can be tutorials, guides, step-by-step walkthroughs or video slideshows are difficult to create with current video editors in the market. Because they target a wide base so either they lack certain much needed features for creating How-tos or becomes complex to edit the video with their timelines.

Solution: This presented us an opportunity, to address this problem with WowTo. It has a video editor that is specially created for making HowTo videos. Infact our first beta testers are elementary children who were comfortable using our product without any assistance or documentation.

Here is a list of features that makes WowTo - Wow!: WowTo makes it easy to create howto videos with its natural AI voiceover feature, intuitive editor and multi-lingual support.

* No technical or creative knowledge required for creating videos.

* Select from 300+ AI voices with different languages

* Update videos for voice or content in just a snap

* With WowTo, let viewers listen in their native language instead of subtitles

You can also create HowTo videos from a variety of sources:

* Turn PDF document to a HowTo video

* Make a HowTo video from powerpoint in a single click and let your presentation do all the talking

* Use our Chrome extension to capture workflow steps as a HowTo video

* Have a screen-recording? Simply import it into WowTo and magically convert your voice to script

This look interesting. I'll need to test it out. I'm a, little it puzzled what does subtitle support means. I guess it is possible to embed them directly into video.

Thanks for your feedback. It automatically generates sub-titles in VTT format. Or you can our own video player to display sub-titles in multiple languages for a video.

Quick change to the text on /pdf-to-video

"Do you often find yourself explaining about the documents to your clients or team? Now, let the AI do this for you with WowTo."

This doesn't sound native. I would change it to "Do you often find yourself explaining documents to your clients or team? Now, let the WowTo AI do the explaining for you."

Interesting product. It's not targeted at me specifically, but I could see it getting a lot of adoption. If this also had a programmatic API for video generation I would have some personal use cases for it! But I don't mean to say it should be an API/programmatic focused product because there are so many people who can't be served by tooling like that due to lack of programming knowledge.

Embedding subtitles directly into the video stream is a bit more complicated. Interestingly a lot of video creation platforms don't support that as a feature even though it's useful in some cases (E.G. videos on instagram/tiktok/etc.) I actually had to write my own service on top of ffmpeg to do this shrug
