What Is Vorec? AI Narrated Tutorials From a Screen Recording (2026)
Vorec Team · 2026-10-21 · About 4 min read
Vorec is a tool that turns a screen recording into a narrated tutorial video and, on request, a written step-by-step guide. It has its own macOS recorder, and it also accepts recordings made elsewhere. AI drafts narration matched to the workflow that was captured, generates the voiceover, and you review and edit the script before publishing. No microphone narration is required. This page describes what Vorec does from our own plan catalog (5 October 2026) and product documentation; Vorec is made by the same team that publishes this blog.
Who Vorec is for
Teams and solo builders who document software: product teams making help-center tutorials, support teams answering the same question repeatedly, developers who want demos and walkthroughs of what they just built, and trainers producing consistent narrated videos. It is built for tutorials and documentation, not for talk-led video editing or interactive click-through demos.
How it works
- Capture. Record with Vorec's macOS recorder, which saves cursor and click data alongside the video, or upload a recording you already have. An AI coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) can drive the recorder through the Vorec CLI; the take stays on your disk for you to review before anything is uploaded.
- Draft. Vorec uses the captured action data, or analyzes an uploaded recording, to draft narration matched to the workflow. It is a first draft: read it and fix product names and terms.
- Edit. The editor shows narration segments beside the preview and a multi-track timeline. You can rewrite a line, regenerate a single segment, add captions, callouts, spotlight, blur, music, and smooth cursor motion, cursor-follow zoom and click-based auto-zoom. Freeze-sync can hold a frame so an explanation finishes before the next action.
- Export and publish. Export an MP4 (Starter 1080p; Pro and Business up to 4K), and generate a written guide with annotatable screenshots from the same capture if you want one.

Plan catalog read 5 October 2026; launch credit allowances can differ from the standard amounts shown. Credits are spent per action: video analysis costs 8 credits for a video up to 3 minutes, 15 up to 8 minutes, 25 up to 15 minutes and 45 up to 30 minutes; a voice clip costs 2 credits (4 if over 100 words); a translation costs 3; a written guide costs 3; an AI rewrite costs 1. Narration can be regenerated in other languages: 3 on Starter, all supported languages on Pro and Business. See Vorec pricing.
What Vorec does not do
- It is not an interactive demo builder: there is no native branched interactive demo, hosted-video lead gate or CRM sync.
- It has no native customer-facing viewer-analytics dashboard.
- The recorder runs on macOS; recordings from other systems can be uploaded.
- AI narration can mislabel an element or term, which is why the script is yours to review.
