As videos are so much important todays, I believe that everyone must have some knowledge on creating and editing videos for of common tasks required by his personal or business use. This book has mainly an objective to evaluate some text to speech converters, voice changers, video editors, cartoon animators and video recording and live streaming programs. As I am Arabic, I gave special importance to look for the best tools that can convert Arabic text to voice with good quality because of the lack of these tools. And I also gave special importance to look for the best tools that can change the voice tune as a lot of people don’t like to make videos with their voice for special reasons. Then I gave quick guide on how to use the two important video editors, VSDC Free Video Editor and Camtasia Studio.
