Good Idea #8:
Wibbitz

Back to the Good Ideas Database

What is the good idea?

Wibbitz is a technology company aiming to make it easier for people to digest news and consume information on mobile devices. It is a text-to-video technology that automatically converts any text-based article into a video in a matter of seconds.

It transforms any article into a one to two-minute video, extracting the salient points from the text, pulling in images and infographics and adding a voice-over. The videos can be watched conveniently on mobile screens, at home or on-the-go.

Video content may be viewable on mobile only, depending on network restrictions
