What is Elai.io?

Elai turns text, a web page or a PowerPoint file into a presenter-led video: choose an avatar, pick a voice, paste the script or upload the deck, and the platform assembles slides, narration and lip-sync. It carries a useful set of learning features, including quizzes, branching paths, clickable hotspots, subtitles, automatic translation and SCORM export, which is why training and onboarding teams are its natural audience. A library of avatars and hundreds of voices covers a wide range of languages, and custom avatars and voice clones are sold as add-ons. Rendering is metered in video minutes, and re-rendering consumes them again.

FAQ

Does re-editing cost minutes?

Yes. Minutes are deducted every time you render, including a second render of the same project, and deleting a video does not refund them. Draft the script and slides carefully before rendering in bulk.

Can it make a video from a slide deck?

That is one of its strengths. Upload a PPTX file and each slide becomes a scene, with speaker notes optionally turned into the avatar's narration, which saves rebuilding the content by hand.

Do custom avatars cost more?

Yes, selfie avatars and voice clones are add-ons rather than part of the standard plans, although some team subscriptions bundle one of each. Check the current plan table before budgeting.
