Tella Tutorials: Complete How-To Library

Step-by-step guides for getting more out of Tella - recording, narration, and the finishing touches that make a video easy to follow.

Tella is a browser-based recorder aimed at creators who want good-looking videos without a heavy editing workflow. Its clip-based recording, layouts, and backgrounds make it a favorite for course creators and founders sharing updates. Because it runs in the browser, though, some workflows behave differently than you might expect from a desktop recorder, and a few common requests are not supported at all.

This library collects every Tella how-to guide we have written. On the narration side, the guides cover adding an AI voiceover and cloning your own voice for narration. On the visual side, they cover adding annotations like arrows, shapes, and text, showing keystrokes on screen so viewers can follow shortcuts, and smoothing or animating the cursor for a more polished feel. There is also a guide on recording your iPhone screen for mobile demos.

Each guide is honest about what Tella supports and what it does not. Where a feature exists, we show exactly where to find it. Where it does not, we walk through the most practical workaround, and show how the same task works in Tight Studio if you would rather have it built in.

How to add an AI voiceover in Tella

Tella has no built-in AI voiceover or text-to-speech. Here is the honest answer, the manual workaround, and how to generate script-based narration without leaving the editor.

How to add annotations in Tella

Tella's editor has no arrow, shape, or text annotation tool. Here is what it actually supports today, the workarounds, and how to add annotations in Tight Studio.

How to clone your voice in Tella

Tella has no voice cloning or AI voiceover. Here is the honest answer, the manual workaround, and how to narrate in a clone of your own voice without leaving the editor.

How to show keystrokes in Tella

Tella has no built-in keystroke overlay - its own help docs point to a separate app. Here is the honest answer and how to show keys pressed without a second tool.

Prefer a recorder with this built in?

Tight Studio is a macOS app with AI voiceover, annotations, keystroke display, cursor animation, and a full video editor - no workarounds needed.
