Upload or type a topic","step1Desc":"Drop in a PDF, textbook chapter, lecture notes, or just paste a topic prompt like \"Krebs cycle\" or \"the French Revolution\".","step2Title":"2. Pick a mode, voice, and language","step2Desc":"Pick a teaching mode, then choose the exact narrator from 50+ voices or leave it on Auto for a voice that fits the material. Set the narration language and video quality; paid plans can also set a target length.","step3Title":"3. Watch, chat, and study","step3Desc":"Watch the animated lecture with chapters, captions, and full transcript. Ask the AI questions, then turn the content into flashcards or a quiz.","eyebrowModes":"New teaching styles","section4Title":"Everything you need to learn visually","section4Subtitle":"All the tools to create, navigate, and share your AI video lectures.","eyebrowTools":"Inside every lecture","tool1Title":"The Length You Pick","tool1Desc":"On Free, lectures use a roughly 2-minute length. Paid plans set a target up to 45 minutes — and the lecture is built to it. Narration is recorded in chapters and paced from the real audio, so the remaining chapters are sized to how the narrator actually speaks; a plan that comes in short is extended with new source-grounded scenes rather than padded or stretched. Short uses its own vertical short-video format. Every finished lecture still shows the length you asked for next to the runtime delivered, along with the source pages it covered and the narration language. Free previews are labelled with their own runtime and the target length of the full lecture.","tool2Title":"50+ Voices in 70+ Languages","tool2Desc":"Choose the exact multilingual narrator or use Auto to match the voice to your material. One voice stays consistent throughout the video, and custom instructions guide the lecture style.","tool3Title":"Custom Instructions","tool3Desc":"Add freeform instructions to steer any lecture — emphasize a chapter, explain like you're a visual learner, or focus on exam-relevant material.","tool4Title":"Textbook-Quality Visuals","tool4Desc":"Serif headlines and clean diagram-style scenes on a hand-tuned color palette drawn fresh for each lecture — soft pastels, brights, the classic cream, or a full dark theme with the Dark Mode toggle. Definitions, comparisons, step-by-step processes, equations with real math typography, animated stats, charts, and key-insight callouts — picked automatically for each topic.","tool5Title":"Chapter Navigation","tool5Desc":"Videos are divided into chapters by topic. Jump to any section instantly.","tool6Title":"Full Transcript","tool6Desc":"Read along with a complete transcript of the narration. Search and reference any part.","tool7Title":"Synced Captions","tool7Desc":"Built-in captions match the narration line by line. Great for muted study sessions, libraries, or learning in a second language.","tool8Title":"AI Chat","tool8Desc":"Ask questions about the video content. The AI uses the transcript and source materials to answer.","tool9Title":"Interactive Questions","tool9Desc":"Question cards appear at key moments and ask about what you just watched — without interrupting playback. Built-in active recall with your Best and Last scores tracked next to the questions list, plus a full attempt history.","tool10Title":"Flashcard Generation","tool10Desc":"Generate flashcards directly from completed video lectures or from any interactive question checkpoint.","tool11Title":"Share & Download","tool11Desc":"Share video lectures via link on every plan, or download them as MP4 to watch offline on a paid plan. Recipients can watch without creating an account. On a paid plan you can also export the lecture's companion deck as a PowerPoint (.pptx) file, or save it straight to Google Slides with Google Drive connected.","tool12Title":"Topic Prompt Mode","tool12Desc":"No source file? Just type a topic — \"photosynthesis\", \"limits in calculus\", \"World War I causes\" — and Scholarly writes the lecture from scratch.","tool13Title":"Diagrams That Build As You Watch","tool13Desc":"Scenes are drawn on screen in step with the narration rather than appearing all at once — boxes land before the arrows that connect them, comparisons fill in as each side is explained, and nothing is on screen before it has been mentioned. Beyond illustrations, lectures draw graphs, tables, frameworks, funnels, cycles, and code.","tool14Title":"Long Lectures, Shorter Wait","tool14Desc":"Long video lectures finish considerably sooner than they used to, and the create window shows a realistic wait for the length you picked before you start it — so you can decide whether to wait or come back. Either way it runs on our servers, so you can close the tab.","tool15Title":"Right-to-Left and Native Pacing","tool15Desc":"Arabic and Hebrew lectures are laid out right to left, not just translated, and on-screen text follows the lecture’s own language instead of falling back to English labels. Japanese, Hindi, Nepali, Bengali, Thai and other scripts are planned at their own speaking pace, so a lecture hits the length you asked for in any language.","eyebrowSubjects":"Every subject","subjectTitle":"Built for every subject","subjectSubtitle":"From cell biology to compilers — Scholarly adapts its visuals to your material.","subject1Title":"Biology video lectures","subject1Desc":"Cellular respiration, DNA replication, the immune system. Animated cell diagrams and process flows make biology feel like a documentary.","subject2Title":"Calculus and math","subject2Desc":"Limits, derivatives, integrals, linear algebra. Mathematical visualizations show graphs morphing as values change so you actually see what a derivative is.","subject3Title":"History and humanities","subject3Desc":"Timelines, maps, and key figures.

Multiple sources can be combined into one video.","howToStep2Name":"Choose a mode, voice, and language","howToStep2Text":"Pick a video mode — Standard, Illustrated, Short, Manim Math Animation, or Freestyle — that decides how your topic is taught. Choose an exact narrator from 50+ voices, or use Auto to match one voice to the material for the whole video. For Standard, Illustrated, Manim Math Animation, and Freestyle, Free uses a roughly 2-minute length while paid plans can set a target up to 45 minutes. Short uses its own vertical short video format. You can also toggle soft background music under the narration, and for Standard, flip on Dark Mode to render every slide on a dark theme.","howToStep3Name":"Watch, chat, and turn it into flashcards","howToStep3Text":"Watch the animated lecture with chapter navigation, captions, and full transcript. Ask the AI follow-up questions, then turn any chapter into flashcards or a quiz with one click.","faq1Question":"How long does it take to generate a video lecture?","faq1Answer":"Most video lectures finish in 10-25 minutes depending on your source material. A lecture on a single short topic can be ready in under 10 minutes. You can close the page — Scholarly notifies you when the video is ready.","faq2Question":"What languages are supported?","faq2Answer":"Over 70 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Czech, Polish, Greek, Hebrew, Ukrainian, the Nordic languages, Hindi, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Thai, Turkish, and more. The narrator is told which language it is reading rather than guessing from the text, so each language is spoken natively — numbers and abbreviations included — and the captions and transcript are generated in the same language. Arabic, Hebrew, and other right-to-left lectures are laid out right to left, not just translated.","faq3Question":"Can I edit the video after it's generated?","faq3Answer":"You can regenerate any chapter, change the language, or switch the video mode and have Scholarly rebuild the video. Full timeline-level video editing isn't supported — but most students just regenerate sections that miss the mark.","faq4Question":"Is the AI video lecture generator free?","faq4Answer":"Yes — it's free to try. The free plan includes a limited number of AI Creation Credits and every video mode at 720p, with a roughly 2-minute length for lecture modes. Premium adds target-length control, ongoing creation, 1080p Full HD, and MP4 downloads alongside all the other Scholarly study tools.","faq5Question":"How is this different from Khan Academy or YouTube?","faq5Answer":"Khan Academy and YouTube give you somebody else's lecture on a topic that's often only a partial match for your class. Scholarly generates a video from your specific PDF, notes, or topic prompt — so it covers exactly your syllabus, in your language, at a source-matched length on Free or a target you choose on a paid plan. You can also chat with the video and turn it into flashcards.","faq6Question":"Can I download the video?","faq6Answer":"Yes. Paid users can download video lectures as MP4 files to watch offline, send to a colleague, or save to their phone, and export the lecture's companion slide deck as a PowerPoint (.pptx) file or to Google Slides with Google Drive connected. Free users can stream and share via link.","faq7Question":"What's included with each video lecture?","faq7Answer":"Every generated video comes with chapter navigation, a full searchable transcript, synced captions, AI chat trained on the video and source material, optional interactive question checkpoints with Best/Last score tracking and history, and one-click flashcard generation.","faq8Question":"Can I generate a video from just a topic prompt?","faq8Answer":"Yes. You don't need a source file. Type a topic like \"Krebs cycle\", \"linear algebra eigenvectors\", or \"causes of the French Revolution\" and Scholarly writes the script, builds the animations, and narrates the full lecture from scratch.","faq9Question":"Can I turn a PDF or my notes into a video lecture?","faq9Answer":"Yes — those are the two most common inputs. Use PDF to Video to convert lecture slides or a textbook chapter into a narrated video lecture, or Notes to Video to turn typed or handwritten study notes into one. Both feed the same generator, so you get the same chaptered, narrated video with a transcript, AI chat, and one-click flashcards.","faq10Question":"What's the best AI video lecture generator for students?","faq10Answer":"Scholarly is built specifically for studying your own material, not for marketing or corporate videos. Unlike the short Video Overviews in Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) or avatar tools like Synthesia, it reads your actual PDF, notes, or topic as a teaching source and renders an animated, chaptered lecture up to 45 minutes wired into a study loop — interactive question checkpoints, AI chat, and one-click flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule or graded quizzes from the same source. For students, that study layer is what makes it the best AI video lecture generator in 2026.","modesNewBadge":"New","modesTitle":"Pick a video mode","modesSubtitle":"The same topic, re-taught a few different ways. Each mode is its own teaching style — its own visuals, pacing, and voice. Choose the one that fits the material, the audience, and the moment.","modesFreeLabel":"Free","modesDefaultLabel":"Default","modesNote":"The mode shapes how your video teaches. On a paid plan a new lecture typically starts on Freestyle, where the AI chooses the format that suits your material instead of putting every source through the same slide layout; on Free it starts on Standard. Picking a mode yourself always wins. Every mode is free. Short uses its own vertical short video format; lecture modes use a roughly 2-minute length on Free, with target-length control on paid plans.","modeStandardName":"Standard","modeStandardDesc":"A calm, editorial study lecture — a beautifully designed textbook chapter in motion. This is the starting mode on the Free plan.","modeShortName":"Short","modeShortDesc":"A fast vertical explainer in a short video format, built for quick review.","modeMathName":"Manim Math Animation","modeMathDesc":"Precise Manim derivations with vetted scenes first and a flexible fallback for other math.","modeIllustratedName":"Illustrated","modeIllustratedDesc":"A hand-drawn visual story told through illustrations and sparse handwritten labels.","modeFreestyleName":"Freestyle","modeFreestyleDesc":"The AI picks the style and visual tools that fit your topic best — a different look every time. On a paid plan this is typically where a new lecture starts, and whichever mode you pick yourself always wins."}}
