Frequently asked questions

Can I use ChatTales online without the app?
ChatTales itself is only available as an iPhone and iPad app. If you want to make text-story videos online, texting.video runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install and no account needed to export.
Is ChatTales on Android?
As of its listing, Android is a waitlist. texting.video works on Android today because it runs in the browser: open it in Chrome, write the conversation, export the MP4.
Is there a free version without the two-person and four-story limit?
texting.video has no limits on people per chat or number of stories, and group chats and photo messages are free. Free exports carry a small watermark; Pro ($9/mo) removes it.
Does texting.video have ChatTales’s text-to-speech voices?
No — texting.video renders the conversation itself, with typing sounds and message effects, and leaves narration to your editor. What it adds instead is an AI on-ramp: ChatGPT or Claude can write the whole script, and you paste it in.
Can I use it on a computer?
Yes. It runs on any computer with a browser, which makes writing a long story easier — paste a whole conversation at once, reorder lines, undo mistakes, and the finished MP4 lands in your downloads.
