TallyReel script review screen: a title and four scenes, each with its line and the footage search it uses.

What it is

Type an idea and get a finished vertical video: script, footage, natural voiceover, word-highlighted captions and music. The AI runs on the customer’s own Mac or PC, so there is nothing to pay per video.

What was hard

AI on the customer’s machine
Script writing, voice and caption timing all run locally, with model sizes chosen to fit the computer’s memory.
Mac and Windows from one codebase
Installers for both are built and tested automatically on real Mac and Windows machines for every release.
Pay once, make unlimited videos
A one-time license with activation keys, against competitors that charge monthly and meter every video.

Frames from videos TallyReel made, each from a one-line idea.

Built with
