Your idea deserves to be seen… while it's being drawn.

Spetch turns your images and text into whiteboard videos, drawn by a real hand, stroke by stroke.

Most whiteboard apps simply wipe text onto the screen. Spetch writes it, the way your hand does: in any language, in any font on your computer, even Arabic, joined and right to left. Bring any image: a logo, a chart, a photo. Spetch draws it in front of you, and you control the order and timing of every stroke. Plus a library of hundreds of ready-made illustrations. And it's not a slideshow. It's a real editor: keyframes, thirty reveal transitions, particle effects, video layers, and a multi-track audio timeline. Export up to 4K, landscape for YouTube or vertical for Reels, and upload straight to your channel. Spetch runs on your computer, even offline, and your projects stay yours.

For Arabic — and every language

Whiteboard videos that write Arabic the way a hand does.

Spetch writes every letter stroke by stroke — joined, right to left, dots last — and draws any image you bring, not only a stock library. Animate it on a real timeline and export up to 4K. Pay once; it runs on your computer.

What makes Spetch different

1

Handwriting — not a wipe

Text isn't uncovered by a brush sweeping across it. Spetch finds the centreline of every letter and writes it with the pen, in the script's own direction: Arabic, Persian and Urdu right to left with the letters joined and dots and marks added last; Hindi with its headline last; Chinese and Japanese top to bottom. Any font on your computer works, and characters it lacks fall back automatically.

2

Your images, drawn

Drop in a photo, a logo, a chart or a sketch: Spetch traces it into strokes and draws it line by line — and you decide the stroke order and timing. The built-in library is a head start, not a limit.

3

A real editor, not a slideshow

Keyframe position, scale, rotation and opacity. Reveal a picture through a video — an ink drop spreading to uncover it. 30 reveal transitions, particle effects, video layers, masks and blend modes, and a multi-track audio timeline with trimming, splitting and ripple delete.

4

Yours to keep

A desktop app for Windows and Mac. Projects stay on your computer, it works offline, and export renders on your own machine — no credits, no queue, no upload — frame for frame what you see in the preview, up to 4K, in landscape, vertical or square. Pro is a single payment, not a subscription.

Before you choose a whiteboard app, check

Spetch does all of these.

  • Writes Arabic stroke by stroke — joined, right to left — instead of wiping it on
  • Draws images you bring, not only the ones it ships with
  • Lets you set the order and timing of every stroke
  • Exports up to 4K, including vertical video for Shorts and Reels
  • Follows your narration: import the script (TXT, SRT or VTT) and see each line as it plays
  • Works offline and keeps your projects on your computer
  • Costs one payment, not a monthly subscription

What's new in v0.11.0

Spetch v0.11.0 adds zoom and pan to the canvas, a redesigned toolbox, text you can edit right on the canvas, and fixes a set of export problems where the video didn't match the preview.

The export matches the preview

  • Layers with a transition (Reveal by) keep their animation, their own transparency and their blend mode in the video. A PNG's clear areas no longer turn into a black box, and the layer stays in its place in the stack. Text and shapes with a transition are exported too — before, they were left out.
  • Videos with keyframes or an After-drawing animation move, scale and rotate in the export as they do in the preview.
  • Shapes with Pop or another animation: the outline moves with the fill.
  • Bold text keeps its weight in the video.
  • When an export fails, the message now says why (ffmpeg's own error) instead of "The pipe is being closed".

Canvas zoom and pan

  • Zoom tool (Z): click to zoom in at that point, Alt+click or right-click to zoom out. Ctrl+wheel zooms at the cursor, Ctrl+= / Ctrl+− step, Ctrl+0 fits.
  • Pan tool (H), or hold Space / the middle mouse button and drag with any tool. Once zoomed, the wheel pans.
  • The rulers stay at the edges and show the part of the canvas you're looking at.
  • The canvas is always a true 16:9 box: many layers no longer squash it, and the layers panel keeps one height — drag its top edge to resize it.

A new toolbox

  • Redrawn two-tone icons, with Text and FX moved here from the top bar.
  • Pen (P) draws a filled shape and Mask (M) masks the selected image or video — two tools instead of one.
  • Brush strokes and pen shapes are drawn along the line you drew, and the hand follows it.
  • In a smaller window the top bar shows icons instead of hiding buttons.

Editing

  • Double-click a text layer to type over it on the canvas — Ctrl+Enter or click away to apply, Esc to cancel.
  • W and H show the size in pixels and can be unlinked with the chain button to stretch a layer; ↺ restores its proportions.
  • Arabic digits: write numbers as ١٢٣ with the new Numbers option.
  • Select several layers with Ctrl/Shift+click on the canvas or the timeline, then move, nudge or delete them together.
  • Layers panel: reorder layers by dragging the ⋮⋮ grip, scroll through long lists, Shift+click and box-select keyframes, and bigger keyframes that are easier to grab.
  • New layers start when the layer above them finishes drawing.

Other changes

  • Apply to all can be undone in one step.
  • These installers are unsigned: Windows SmartScreen warns on first run, and on a Mac the first launch needs right-click → Open.

الجديد في الإصدار 0.11.0

يضيف Spetch 0.11.0 التكبير والتحريك داخل لوحة الرسم، وشريط أدوات بتصميم جديد، وتعديل النص مباشرة على اللوحة، ويصلح مجموعة من مشكلات التصدير التي كان الفيديو فيها لا يطابق المعاينة.

الفيديو المصدَّر يطابق المعاينة

  • الطبقات التي لها انتقال إظهار (Reveal by) تحتفظ في الفيديو بحركتها وشفافيتها ونمط الدمج الخاص بها. لم تعد المناطق الشفافة في صور PNG تتحول إلى مربع أسود، وتبقى الطبقة في مكانها من ترتيب الطبقات. كما تُصدَّر الآن النصوص والأشكال التي لها انتقال — وكانت تُحذف من قبل.
  • مقاطع الفيديو التي لها إطارات مفتاحية أو حركة بعد الرسم تتحرك وتتغير مقاساتها وتدور في الفيديو المصدَّر كما في المعاينة.
  • الأشكال التي لها حركة نبض أو غيرها: تتحرك الحدود مع التعبئة.
  • النص العريض (Bold) يحتفظ بسماكته في الفيديو.
  • عند فشل التصدير تشرح الرسالة الآن السبب (خطأ ffmpeg نفسه) بدلاً من "The pipe is being closed".

تكبير اللوحة وتحريكها

  • أداة التكبير (Z): انقر للتكبير عند تلك النقطة، و Alt مع النقر أو النقر بالزر الأيمن للتصغير. Ctrl مع عجلة الفأرة يكبّر عند المؤشر، و Ctrl+= / Ctrl+− بخطوات، و Ctrl+0 يعيد الملاءمة.
  • أداة التحريك (H)، أو اضغط مع الاستمرار على المسافة أو زر الفأرة الأوسط واسحب بأي أداة. وبعد التكبير تحرّك العجلة اللوحة.
  • تبقى المساطر عند الحواف وتعرض الجزء الذي تنظر إليه من اللوحة.
  • اللوحة دائماً بنسبة 16:9 تماماً: لم تعد كثرة الطبقات تضغطها، ولوحة الطبقات بارتفاع ثابت — اسحب حافتها العليا لتغيير حجمها.

شريط أدوات جديد

  • أيقونات جديدة بلونين، وانتقل النص والمؤثرات (FX) إلى هنا من الشريط العلوي.
  • القلم (P) يرسم شكلاً مملوءاً، والقناع (M) يضع قناعاً على الصورة أو الفيديو المحدد — أداتان بدلاً من أداة واحدة.
  • ضربات الفرشاة وأشكال القلم تُرسم على الخط الذي رسمته، واليد تتبعه.
  • في النافذة الأصغر يعرض الشريط العلوي أيقونات بدلاً من إخفاء الأزرار.

التحرير

  • انقر نقراً مزدوجاً على طبقة نص لتكتب فوقها مباشرة على اللوحة — Ctrl+Enter أو النقر خارجها للتطبيق، و Esc للإلغاء.
  • العرض والارتفاع (W/H) يظهران بالبكسل، ويمكن فك ربطهما بزر السلسلة لمطّ الطبقة؛ و ↺ يعيد نسبها الأصلية.
  • الأرقام العربية: اكتب الأرقام هكذا ١٢٣ بخيار الأرقام الجديد.
  • حدّد عدة طبقات بـ Ctrl أو Shift مع النقر على اللوحة أو في الخط الزمني، ثم حرّكها أو احذفها معاً.
  • لوحة الطبقات: أعد ترتيب الطبقات بسحب المقبض ⋮⋮، وتنقّل في القوائم الطويلة، وحدّد الإطارات المفتاحية بـ Shift مع النقر أو بالسحب حولها، وإطارات مفتاحية أكبر يسهل الإمساك بها.
  • الطبقات الجديدة تبدأ عند انتهاء رسم الطبقة التي فوقها.

تغييرات أخرى

  • يمكن التراجع عن التطبيق على الكل بخطوة واحدة.
  • ملفات التثبيت هذه غير موقّعة: يعرض Windows SmartScreen تحذيراً عند أول تشغيل، وعلى Mac يحتاج أول فتح إلى النقر بزر الفأرة الأيمن ← فتح.
