Narakeet: text to speech and narrated PowerPoint videos, billed by the minute

Updated on September 6, 2026

Narakeet is a text-to-speech and video automation platform that converts scripts, documents and slide decks into audio files or narrated MP4 videos. The first 20 files cost nothing and no account is required. After that, credits come in one-off packs, $6 for 30 minutes of output, with no subscription in sight. The library spans 900 voices in 100 languages, which is why teachers, e-learning teams and marketing departments rely on it for batch narration.

Speaker notes in, finished MP4 out, the Narakeet pipeline

Narakeet reads the presenter notes of a PowerPoint deck and generates the narration track of an MP4 video, with sync and subtitles handled automatically through neural speech synthesis. You write the script under each slide, upload the PPTX, and download a video ready for YouTube. Google Slides and Keynote decks work too, once exported to PowerPoint format.

The same engine goes well beyond slides. A Markdown script becomes a screencast, a translated SRT file becomes a dubbing track locked to its timestamps, and developers can drive everything through the command-line tools or the API for batch production.

Credits metered by the second, with no expiry date

Six dollars covers 30 minutes of generated media, $100 covers 1,000 minutes, and every file is deducted by the second. Credits never expire, a real advantage for burst production, one big course this month and then nothing for a while. The free tier caps each file at roughly 1,000 characters and keeps the output strictly personal.

One habit worth picking up early, the preview button costs nothing (you can audition twenty voices before committing, nobody is counting). Rates do shift over time, so the official pricing page remains the only number worth trusting.

Where Narakeet draws the line

Narakeet skips voice cloning entirely, every account draws from the same shared library, a field handled by dedicated voice cloning tools. Embedded PowerPoint animations are not carried over either, slides render as static images.

For explainer videos, internal training and faceless YouTube channels, that trade is easy to accept. The voices favor clarity over drama, and the pay-per-use model means a single tutorial costs cents rather than a monthly plan.
