Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 28 of the 43 other AI voice generators we grade

Narakeet turns scripts, documents and slide decks into voiceovers and narrated videos using about 900 voices in 100 languages. It also transcribes speech to text. Access is sold as one-time packs of minutes rather than a subscription, and the minutes do not expire.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Narakeet, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Slides and scripts are a page of setup, but it's a web tool.

Who Narakeet is for

  • Not for you if you need commercial use on a free account, because it isn't allowed
  • Watch out: credits are charged for each full file you build, downloaded or not
  • Skip it if you are an individual hoping for an education discount, as those go to organisations only
  • Tight if you need refunds: 14 days, and only for unused credits

Good to know

Part 04 · Standing

Where it stands

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

28/43

Other AI voice generators it is graded above

Narakeet's GPA of 2.4 is higher than 28 of the 43 other AI voice generators we grade, and level with 10.

It stands best on value for money (B, above 32 of 43) and worst on features (C, above 0).

Each grade against the category

Every bar is all 44 AI voice generators we grade, cut by the letter each got. Narakeet’s own letter is outlined.

  • BValue for moneyAbove 32 of 43
  • CFree plan and trialAbove 12 of 43
  • CFeaturesAbove 0 of 43
  • CEase of useAbove 7 of 43
  • BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 20 of 43

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Narakeet you would be making a voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It costs $6, paid once.

What you could not

  • A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
  • Speech turned into text you can trust.
  • A slide editor.
  • It plugs into other products, PowerPoint and Markdown among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. Narakeet’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
