I was expecting to see a video above the fold, made with wowto.ai, about what wowto.ai is.

Yeah I understand we will update it soon, but we do have a lot of samples created with WowTo.ai in the website, also our help center ( https://app.wowto.ai/help ) is a multi-lingual video knowledgebase.

How do you access the different language versions?

This sounds like it would absolutely ruin the internet as a resource for how-to videos. When anyone can use massive amounts of data scraping and underpaid labor to make extremely low quality videos and spam youtube with them, actually half decent how-to videos will get completely lost. Not to mention, you can just put something completely wrong on without making it immediately obvious. Imagine Roel Van de Paar[1] exc…

The problem is already imminent — Just search for anything on YT and order by latest first. 99% garbage.

Omg you completely got it wrong, the focus here is to create support, training and educational videos without spending much money or effort.

I only find videos created with wowto. Would be nice to have a video about wowto itself. I've no idea how it works! Do I upload a text script and then the app will speak it?

What happened to Van de Paar? It seems he stopped his video creation frenzy 10 days ago?

Cheap low-effort AI-narrated training videos are exactly the problem alexb_ is referring to. WowTo seems like a good tool for that, so if YouTube spam isn't what you're intending, how would you control what people use it for?

I completely agree with this. My immediate advice because this tool is definitely more likely to be used by more people who aren't programmers, focus on quality. These types of users will have a higher bar for quality in this specific aspect. But also right now the quality of the TTS voices is too low in general imo. Less technical users get more frustrated when their tooling can't produce things that meet their expe…

> But also right now the quality of the TTS voices is too low in general imo. Most youtube shorts (and I'd wager tiktoks, but I have no idea) have this incredibly irritating generic lady voice in the background. It's definitely artificial, every video has the exact same diction and tone. Clearly this is good enough for most people, so it can be done.

> Clearly this is good enough for most people

I really hope the quality improves before I'm forced to engage with such content. It's an absolute deal breaker for me. I can't reach for the back button quickly enough. I'm sure I'm far from alone in this.

We can but consider the super low attention span visitor who bounces because it is too hard to find the obvious thing you would expect/ask when a company is offering an AI video service.
