In simple English
This tool takes a short voice recording and some text in Chinese, and turns them into a drawn whiteboard video. It runs on your own computer so your data stays private. You will need external API keys for text and image generation, plus an IndexTTS service for the voice cloning. It costs money to call those external AI models while you create videos.
What it is
A local AI video workshop that connects voice cloning, storyboarding, illustration, whiteboard animation, and subtitle generation into a single interface. It provides a FastAPI backend, a React frontend, and pre-built scripts for Windows and macOS.
What it is good for
Solo creators and educators who want to produce talking-head whiteboard videos, explainer clips, or social media content in Chinese without paying for a hosted video service.
- Runs locally on Windows and macOS with simple one-click start scripts.
- Includes twelve visual templates ranging from minimalist whiteboard to neon manga.
- Keeps all generated tasks, voice samples, and history stored in a local folder.
- Requires an external OpenLux API key and an active IndexTTS setup to function.
- Demands both Python 3.11+ and Node.js 22.13+ installed on your system.
