rekkaTurn a research paper into an explainer video
Attach a paper and Rekka reads it, equations, figures and tables included, then writes and draws an explanation of what the paper does and why it matters. Useful for journal clubs, lab meetings, studying, or sharing your own work with people outside the field.
Attach your file, then sign in to make the video. Your first one is free.

Get the video
Rekka narrates and draws each part of the paper, and the mp4 appears in the chat. Longer papers can be split into chapters on paid plans.
Questions
Does it handle equations?
Yes. Rekka reads equations from the pages and can write them on the board as it explains them.
Can I make a video of my own paper?
Yes. Videos are private by default, and a public share link exists only if you turn it on.
How long can the paper be?
Up to 30 pages per message. Leave out the reference list if the paper runs long.
Can I ask questions about the file first?
Yes. Attach it and ask a question instead of asking for a video. Rekka reads the pages and answers in the chat, which costs no credits.
What does it cost?
One credit makes one video of about 100 seconds. New accounts get one free credit, so the first video is free. Paid plans can make longer videos split into chapters, and you see the length and credit cost before anything renders.
