It is once again time for a brand new hihaho product update! And this time, there’s a lot to cover: new AI features that coach your viewers, narration without needing a microphone, translated copies of your videos, and two studio upgrades that keep your work organized. Each of these updates is designed to save you time and make your videos more effective. Here’s how.
AI feedback and coaching
Open-ended questions are a great way to get viewers thinking, because they have to put the answer into their own words. But until now, giving meaningful feedback on those answers meant reviewing them by hand. Now, when a viewer answers an open-ended question in your video, AI gives them instant feedback tailored to what they wrote, and can follow up with additional questions to guide them toward the right answer.
Instead of just collecting answers, your video coaches viewers step by step. They understand what they got right and what’s still missing at the moment that it matters, without you having to review every response yourself.
Text-to-speech: narration without using a microphone
Recording voice-overs usually means finding a quiet room, a decent microphone and someone with a clear, confident voice. And when the script changes, you have to start all over again. Now you can generate narration directly in the studio: add a Sound interaction, type your text, and hihaho turns it into spoken audio.
Need to change a sentence later? Edit the text and generate it again. No re-recording, no scheduling, no audio editing.
It’s a quick way to add narration to screen recordings, product demos or slide-based videos, and to keep your content up to date as your product or processes change.
Translated copies: one video, many languages
If you are trying to target audiences that speak multiple languages, you’ve probably faced a choice: build a separate video for each language, or ask everyone to make do with the same language. Now there’s a third option. With just a few clicks, you can create a translated copy of the interactions in your videos!
You build your video once and reach every team, customer or learner in their own language. That saves time, keeps your message consistent and makes your content more accessible.
Interaction groups: keep complex videos organized
The more interactive your video, the more interactions you have to manage. Buttons, questions, hotspots and menus can quickly pile up in the studio. With interaction groups, you can bundle interactions together and color code them, so even complex videos stay clear and easy to work on.
Thumbnail management
A good thumbnail makes people want to click play. In the studio’s thumbnail section, you can now easily add a thumbnail or swap it for a new one, whenever you like.
