Document generation is an experimental feature that lets you create text-based content from a Tella video. This feature lives on the video view page, so it is most useful when you share videos with other people. If you usually export videos out of Tella and do not share a Tella link, this may be less relevant for your workflow.

​
What document generation does

  • Creates written content from your video, such as documentation, summaries, and other text outputs.
  • Can be used by you and by anyone viewing a shared video link.

​
Where to find it

Open a video and go to the video view page. You will see the document generation option in the top area of the page.

​
How to generate a document from your video

  1. Open the video view page.
  2. Open document generation by clicking the document icon.
  3. Choose what you want to generate (for example, summary).
  4. Wait a moment while Tella generates the text.

​
How to use the generated text

After the text is generated, you will see it as a document. From there, you can:
  • Download it as a text file.
  • Copy the text and paste it into another tool, save it somewhere else, or use it however you like.

​
Who can use it

You can use document generation, and your viewers can use it too. If you share a video link, anyone with access to that video can generate text from it.

​
Default settings for existing videos and new videos

  • For existing videos, document generation is off by default.
  • For new videos, document generation is on by default.

​
How to turn document generation off for a specific video

When you create a new video, you will see document generation switched on by default. You can turn it off for that video by switching off document generation from the video’s settings.

​
How to turn document generation off at the account level

If you do not want document generation enabled by default (or you do not want it at all), you can turn it off in your account preferences. You can still override this setting on an individual video if you want document generation enabled for a specific video.

Share feedback

Document generation is currently an experimental feature and we are actively iterating on it. If the outputs feel too generic or not relevant enough, we would love your feedback on what you would use it for and what would make it more useful. Reach out to our team to share feedback!
