30hands
What it is
30hands turns a topic or an existing deck into narrated slides and video. Entering a topic and audience can generate an editable outline and deck with visuals in about 20 seconds; users can also import PDFs, Google Slides, and photos. While swiping through slides, users record narration, and the app captures voice and slide timing clip by clip. Videos can be exported as MP4 in portrait or landscape with subtitles, or shared as a web link that viewers can open without an account. Shared links can show who watched, how long they watched, and where they stopped. Teams can invite members to collaborate, and the maker says one subscription covers invitees. The iOS app supports offline recording; webcam recording and transcript generation are also listed. Maximum video quality is 1080p. The free plan allows three projects, videos up to five minutes, 10 AI slides to start, and 1 GB storage, with a watermark on exports. Pro costs $7.99 a month, billed monthly through Apple, and Pro+ costs $14.99 a month on the same billing basis.
