Overview

Use when the user wants a Khan Academy style explainer video, a blackboard or whiteboard lesson, a hand-drawn chalk-talk animation, a short narrated video that teaches a concept ("explain X in a video", "explainer video", "teach X in 30 seconds"), or a tutorial that draws hand-written arrows, circles and captions over product screenshots ("draw over the UI", "annotated walkthrough"), or clips cut from a YouTube video or podcast where the speaker's real audio plays under a blackboard drawn to it ("khanify this video", "clip this with the Khan visual"), especially when it must be free, local, and use no paid APIs or keys. macOS only.

Khan Explainer

A pen draws while a voice explains. Three modes, one renderer:

Blackboard lesson. A diagram drawn on a black board, Khan Academy style.
Draw-over-UI tutorial. Arrows, circles and numbered captions drawn over product screenshots.
Real-audio clip. A real person's voice, cut from a video, with the board drawn to their words. See "Real-audio clips".

One scene file in, one MP4 out, in seconds. Free and local: HTML canvas, Playwright, macOS say, ffmpeg. No keys. Every mode renders as chalk on a blackboard or marker on a whiteboard, landscape or vertical.

Made by Haider Farooq (github.com/haiderfarooq3). Free for anyone to use and change (MIT).

Core principle: the voice drives the clock. A scene is a list of beats. A beat is one spoken clause plus the drawing that happens while it is said. The renderer speaks each beat first, measures it, and fits that beat's drawing to it. Never hardcode seconds or guess when a word lands.

Workflow

Script the beats. One idea per beat, split at commas and full stops. Check the length formula below.
Plan the picture. Lesson: lay out the whole board. Tutorial: capture the stills and their rectangles. Each has a section below.
Write scene.js in a scratch folder. Copy examples/ai-agents.js for a lesson or examples/ui-tutorial.js for a tutorial.
Render: node ~/.claude/skills/khan-explainer/scripts/render.js scene.js out.mp4
Read the sheet image it prints. It shows the board at the end of every beat. The same folder holds every beat full-size as b000.jpg, b001.jpg and so on. Open those to check that a ring really sits on a small button. Fix every WARN (text off the board, or one label on another), overlap and spill, then re-render. A render takes seconds, so iterate.
Deliver the MP4 and say which voice it used.

Each output line is beat N start +duration. The sheet path is new on every render.

First run on a machine: cd scripts && npm install && npx playwright install chromium.

Length and pace

Pace	Settings	Seconds, roughly
Quick explainer	defaults: `rate: 170`, `gap: 0.15`	words ÷ 3 + beats × 0.15 + 1.3
Tutorial	`rate: 150, gap: 0.6`	words ÷ 2.9 + beats × 0.6 + 1.3

A 10-second explainer is about 24 words in 5 beats. A 60-second tutorial is about 145 words in 15 beats. The formula lands within about 5%, and the render prints the real length. To hit a target, change the words, not rate.

Use the tutorial pace whenever the viewer has to find something on a screen. The quick pace feels rushed there.

Scene API

scene({
  voice: 'Samantha', rate: 170, size: [1280, 720],   // all optional. [720, 1280] = vertical
  lang: 'ar',                                        // the language spoken: picks the voice (see "Other languages")
  gap: 0.15, dim: 0.2,                               // seconds between beats; screenshot darkening
  theme: 'light',                                    // whiteboard and marker. Leave it out for the blackboard.
  beats: [
    { say: 'Spoken clause.', draw: p => { /* p runs 0 to 1 while it is spoken */ } },
    { dur: 1.5, draw: p => {} },                       // silent beat, in seconds
    { clear: true, say: 'Next idea.', draw: p => {} }, // wipes the board first
    { bg: 'shots/home.png', say: 'Start here.', draw: p => {} }, // screenshot as the board
    { theme: 'dark', say: 'Lights off.', draw: p => {} }         // flips the board from this beat on
    // With `audio: 'audio.wav'` on the scene, nothing is spoken by the computer: each beat takes
    // `at: 12.4` (seconds into that file) and `say` is only a note. See "Real-audio clips".
  ],
})

Every draw call is (geometry, p, style). Points are [x, y] in board units.

Call	Draws
`write(str, x, y, p, {size, color, center, lang})`	Handwriting, letter by letter. `y` is the baseline. Arabic, Urdu and Hebrew run left from `x`.
`stroke(points, p, {color, width})`	Any shape, drawn progressively.
`arrow(from, to, p, {color, ctrl})`	Arrow. `ctrl` is a point that bends it.
`check(x, y, p, {size, color})`	Tick mark.
`line(a, b)` `curve(a, b, ctrl)` `oval(cx, cy, rx, ry)` `box(x, y, w, h)`	Return points for `stroke`.
`ring(rect, pad)` `around(rect, pad)`	An oval or a frame around a `{x, y, w, h}` rectangle, for `stroke`.
`view(captureWidth, cropTop)`	Maps screenshot positions to the board. `.r(rect)` for a rectangle, `.p(x, y)` for a point.
`seg(p, from, to)`	A slice of the beat, to order strokes: `seg(p, 0, .4)` then `seg(p, .4, 1)`.
`C.yellow` `blue` `orange` `pink` `green` `red` `purple` `white`	Chalk colours. On the whiteboard the same names are marker inks, and `white` is black.

Text width is about 0.45 × size per character for a normal label and 0.63 × size per capital. Work it out before placing a label beside anything.

Other languages

write takes any script and writes it the way that script is written by hand. The first letter of the string decides the direction; its script picks the face.

Script	Direction	Set in	Width per letter, roughly
Arabic, Persian	right to left	naskh, regular weight	`0.3–0.5 × size` (vowel marks add none). Give it about twice a Latin label's size.
Urdu	right to left	nastaliq: letters slope down to the left and stack about `1.6 × size` tall	`0.5 × size`. Keep it near `0.7×` a Latin size and leave a tall line.
Hebrew	right to left	regular weight, points (niqqud) kept	`0.65 × size`
Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and other Indic	left to right, hung from a headline	regular weight	`0.7–0.9 × size` per syllable
Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese	left to right, no spaces between words	looped, regular weight	`0.6 × size`
Chinese, Japanese, Korean	left to right, one square per character	bold	`1.0 × size` per character
Cyrillic, Greek	left to right	bold	`0.65 × size`

Right-to-left text. x is the right end of the text, where the pen starts (the centre with center: true), and the word is uncovered right to left.
Shaped, not sliced. Every non-Latin string is shaped once as a whole and uncovered in writing order, so joined Arabic letters keep their forms, a vowel mark stays on its letter, and a Hindi vowel sign that sits before its consonant appears with it.
Urdu. It shares Arabic's letters, so write spots it only by a letter Arabic does not use (ٹ ڈ ڑ ں ہ ھ ے). Put lang: 'ur' on the scene or on the call to be sure of the nastaliq hand.
Mixed labels. A Latin label that quotes a foreign word keeps the handwriting and runs left to right; the quoted word is set in its own script's face.
The voice. lang on the scene picks the built-in voice: ar Majed, he Carmit, hi Lekha, zh Tingting, ja Kyoko, ko Yuna, th Kanya, ru Milena, el Melina, tr Yelda, id Damayanti, es Mónica, fr Thomas, de Anna, it Alice, pt Luciana, bn Piya, ta Vani, te Geeta, kn Soumya, uk Lesya, vi Linh, pl Zosia, nl Xander, sv Alva, ms Amira. A missing voice stops the render with where to download it. macOS has no voice for Urdu or Persian: use eleven (its multilingual model speaks them) or audio. An English scene can still show foreign words: then say spells the sound ("kitaab") and the board shows the word.
The off-board and overlap warnings measure the ink, not the letter count, so a long nastaliq swash or a tall stack of marks still warns.

See examples/arabic.js (an Arabic lesson) and examples/languages.js (one word in eight languages).

node tests/run.js renders every example and the same short scene in fifteen languages (tests/languages/), and fails on any warning. node tests/fonts.js prints which face each script gets on this machine: a Mac face, a Noto face, or none.

Light and dark

The board is a blackboard unless told otherwise. Three ways to change that:

theme: 'light' on the scene: a whiteboard, with the colour names mapped to marker inks.
KHAN_THEME=light node scripts/render.js scene.js out-light.mp4: re-skins a finished scene without editing it.
theme on a beat: flips the board from that beat on. The ink already on it changes colour with it.

Read C.blue inside draw, never into a variable at the top of the file, or it keeps the first theme's colour. On a white board every hard edge shows, so look at the light sheet separately from the dark one.

A human voice (optional)

say is free and robotic. For a human voice, export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY and name a voice on the scene:

scene({ eleven: '<voice id>', beats: [...] })
scene({ eleven: { voice: '<voice id>', model: 'eleven_multilingual_v2', settings: { speed: 1.1 } }, beats: [...] })

The whole script is read in one take and cut back into beats at the character times ElevenLabs returns. It sounds like one person talking, and the pen still follows every clause.
gap defaults to 0 here, because the take has its own pauses. At speed: 1.1 expect about 3.3 words a second.
Takes are cached in .voice/ beside the scene. Re-rendering the same words is free, so lay the board out with say first, then switch the voice on and change only drawings.
Changing any say buys a new take of the whole script.

Kokoro: a free local human voice. pip install kokoro soundfile once (for Japanese add "misaki[ja]" and run python -m unidic download; for Chinese add "misaki[zh]"), then put kokoro: true on the scene, or a voice name (kokoro: 'am_michael'), or { voice, speed }. KHAN_TTS=kokoro tries it on any scene without editing it. It speaks English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese, and lang picks its voice. For Arabic, Urdu, Hebrew and the rest, KHAN_TTS leaves the built-in voice on; use eleven for a human voice there. The model downloads on first use (about 330 MB), then runs offline. Takes are cached in .voice/kokoro/. KHAN_PYTHON names the Python that has it installed.

Blackboard lessons

Lay out the whole board before writing code. 1280×720 units, 60 margin, title top-left. List each shape's centre and size for every beat, including the last, so the finished board fills the width instead of crowding one side.
One colour per concept, reused whenever that concept returns.
Draw what is being said as it is said. Never reveal a finished diagram.
Diagrams and short labels only. No sentences on the board, no logos, no stock images.
Talk like a tutor: plain words, "so", "now", "let's say". No term the board has not introduced.
Exaggerate scale. If two things differ, draw the difference big enough to see at a glance.
The board accumulates. Add clear: true only when it is full, roughly every 5–6 beats.

Draw-over-UI tutorials

bg puts a screenshot on the board from that beat on and wipes earlier ink. Paths are relative to the scene file. Repeat the same bg on a later beat to wipe the annotations and mark up that screen again. clear: true takes the screenshot away as well, back to th

# Khan Explainer

A pen draws while a voice explains. Three modes, one renderer:

- **Blackboard lesson.** A diagram drawn on a black board, Khan Academy style.
- **Draw-over-UI tutorial.** Arrows, circles and numbered captions drawn over product screenshots.
- **Real-audio clip.** A real person's voice, cut from a video, with the board drawn to their words. See "Real-audio clips".

One scene file in, one MP4 out, in seconds. Free and local: HTML canvas, Playwright, macOS `say`, ffmpeg. No keys.
Every mode renders as chalk on a blackboard or marker on a whiteboard, landscape or vertical.

Made by Haider Farooq ([github.com/haiderfarooq3](https://github.com/haiderfarooq3/khan-explainer)). Free for anyone to use and change (MIT).

**Core principle: the voice drives the clock.** A scene is a list of beats. A beat is one spoken clause plus the drawing that happens while it is said. The renderer speaks each beat first, measures it, and fits that beat's drawing to it. Never hardcode seconds or guess when a word lands.

## Workflow

1. **Script the beats.** One idea per beat, split at commas and full stops. Check the length formula below.
2. **Plan the picture.** Lesson: lay out the whole board. Tutorial: capture the stills and their rectangles. Each has a section below.
3. **Write `scene.js`** in a scratch folder. Copy `examples/ai-agents.js` for a lesson or `examples/ui-tutorial.js` for a tutorial.
4. **Render:** `node ~/.claude/skills/khan-explainer/scripts/render.js scene.js out.mp4`
5. **Read the `sheet` image it prints.** It shows the board at the end of every beat. The same folder holds every beat full-size as `b000.jpg`, `b001.jpg` and so on. Open those to check that a ring really sits on a small button. Fix every `WARN` (text off the board, or one label on another), overlap and spill, then re-render. A render takes seconds, so iterate.
6. Deliver the MP4 and say which voice it used.

Each output line is `beat N  start  +duration`. The sheet path is new on every render.

First run on a machine: `cd scripts && npm install && npx playwright install chromium`.

## Length and pace

| Pace | Settings | Seconds, roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Quick explainer | defaults: `rate: 170`, `gap: 0.15` | words ÷ 3 + beats × 0.15 + 1.3 |
| Tutorial | `rate: 150, gap: 0.6` | words ÷ 2.9 + beats × 0.6 + 1.3 |

A 10-second explainer is about 24 words in 5 beats. A 60-second tutorial is about 145 words in 15 beats. The formula lands within about 5%, and the render prints the real length. To hit a target, change the words, not `rate`.

Use the tutorial pace whenever the viewer has to find something on a screen. The quick pace feels rushed there.

  gap: 0.15, dim: 0.2,                               // seconds between beats; screenshot darkening
  theme: 'light',                                    // whiteboard and marker. Leave it out for the blackboard.
  beats: [
    { say: 'Spoken clause.', draw: p => { /* p runs 0 to 1 while it is spoken */ } },
    { dur: 1.5, draw: p => {} },                       // silent beat, in seconds

    // `at: 12.4` (seconds into that file) and `say` is only a note. See "Real-audio clips".
  ],
})
```

Every draw call is `(geometry, p, style)`. Points are `[x, y]` in board units.

| Call | Draws |
|---|---|
| `write(str, x, y, p, {size, color, center, lang})` | Handwriting, letter by letter. `y` is the baseline. Arabic, Urdu and Hebrew run left from `x`. |
| `stroke(points, p, {color, width})` | Any shape, drawn progressively. |
| `arrow(from, to, p, {color, ctrl})` | Arrow. `ctrl` is a point that bends it. |
| `check(x, y, p, {size, color})` | Tick mark. |
| `line(a, b)` `curve(a, b, ctrl)` `oval(cx, cy, rx, ry)` `box(x, y, w, h)` | Return points for `stroke`. |
| `ring(rect, pad)` `around(rect, pad)` | An oval or a frame around a `{x, y, w, h}` rectangle, for `stroke`. |
| `view(captureWidth, cropTop)` | Maps screenshot positions to the board. `.r(rect)` for a rectangle, `.p(x, y)` for a point. |
| `seg(p, from, to)` | A slice of the beat, to order strokes: `seg(p, 0, .4)` then `seg(p, .4, 1)`. |
| `C.yellow` `blue` `orange` `pink` `green` `red` `purple` `white` | Chalk colours. On the whiteboard the same names are marker inks, and `white` is black. |

Text width is about `0.45 × size` per character for a normal label and `0.63 × size` per capital. Work it out before placing a label beside anything.

## Other languages

`write` takes any script and writes it the way that script is written by hand. The first letter of the string decides the direction; its script picks the face.

| Script | Direction | Set in | Width per letter, roughly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arabic, Persian | right to left | naskh, regular weight | `0.3–0.5 × size` (vowel marks add none). Give it about twice a Latin label's size. |
| Urdu | right to left | nastaliq: letters slope down to the left and stack about `1.6 × size` tall | `0.5 × size`. Keep it near `0.7×` a Latin size and leave a tall line. |
| Hebrew | right to left | regular weight, points (niqqud) kept | `0.65 × size` |
| Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and other Indic | left to right, hung from a headline | regular weight | `0.7–0.9 × size` per syllable |
| Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese | left to right, no spaces between words | looped, regular weight | `0.6 × size` |
| Chinese, Japanese, Korean | left to right, one square per character | bold | `1.0 × size` per character |
| Cyrillic, Greek | left to right | bold | `0.65 × size` |

- **Right-to-left text.** `x` is the right end of the text, where the pen starts (the centre with `center: true`), and the word is uncovered right to left.

A missing voice stops the render with where to download it. macOS has no voice for Urdu or Persian: use `eleven` (its multilingual model speaks them) or `audio`. An English scene can still show foreign words: then `say` spells the sound ("kitaab") and the board shows the word.

## Light and dark

The board is a blackboard unless told otherwise. Three ways to change that:

- `theme: 'light'` on the scene: a whiteboard, with the colour names mapped to marker inks.
- `KHAN_THEME=light node scripts/render.js scene.js out-light.mp4`: re-skins a finished scene without editing it.
- `theme` on a beat: flips the board from that beat on. The ink already on it changes colour with it.

Read `C.blue` inside `draw`, never into a variable at the top of the file, or it keeps the first theme's colour.
On a white board every hard edge shows, so look at the light sheet separately from the dark one.
