Present what
you already wrote.

Orator takes your markdown documents and produces narrated, camera-ready video. In your own voice. Entirely on your machine. No cloud APIs, no subscription, no recording studio.

You already write before you present. The document is the script. The slides are derivable from the same source. The narration is a function of the prose. The whole pipeline can run from one file in one command, and the output can be a finished MP4. Cloud-based competitors charge a subscription to do this badly with their voice. Orator does it locally with yours.

Orator reads your document, narrates it in your cloned voice, renders professional slides from the same source, and composites everything into a finished MP4.

Parse. Your .md or .qmd file is split into sections. Prose becomes narration text. Code blocks, tables, and callouts get spoken descriptions. Section breaks become slide breaks.

Narrate. Each section is synthesized in your cloned voice using a 10-second reference clip. Zero-shot. No training data. No cloud upload.

Render. Professional slides are generated from the same source document. Syntax-highlighted code, styled tables, accessible color palette, custom themes.

Compose. Audio and slides are stitched into a final 1080p MP4 with GPU-accelerated encoding. Each slide displays for exactly the duration of its narration.

Orator was built for the people whose work begins as text. Educators and course creators generate lecture videos, tutorial walkthroughs, and training modules from the lesson notes they already have. Developer advocates turn video docs, API walkthroughs, and changelogs out of the markdown they already write. Corporate L&D teams produce onboarding and compliance training from existing SOPs without any proprietary content leaving the machine. Researchers and technical writers ship video abstracts, conference pre-recordings, and release-note walkthroughs from structured documents.

The throughline is simple. The script already exists. The platform that turns it into video should not require uploading the script, the voice, or the audience to a third party.

Every competitor in the narrated-video space is cloud-only and subscription-based. Orator runs entirely on your hardware. Your documents and your voice model never leave your computer. For teams subject to data residency, HIPAA, or internal security policies, this is not a feature. It is a requirement.

The local-only constraint produces the rest of the design. No account. No telemetry. No internet after install. The voice model is built once from a reference clip you record. The compute happens on the GPU you already paid for.
