TTS Sketch Maker Review DMA LTD UK

Created by DMA LTD UK, TTS Sketch Maker is a piece of software that allows you to easily make whiteboard based videos that are also commentated by built in vocals.

What is the product?

There are an increasing number of marketing videos that contain “whiteboard sketch” style content. These involve a hand that draws images and writes words that illustrate what is being said over them offering a visually stimulating alternative to text. TTS Sketch Maker allows you to quickly and easily make these videos yourself based around preloaded content (although you can also expand the library with your own). DMA LTD UK have included 12 different fonts that you can use as well as 150 animated images. As well as the visual side of things DMA LTD UK  have built in 25 text to speech voices covering all kinds of languages from English to Spanish and even Polish and Czech for TTS Sketch Maker  to use. DMA LTD UK  say that these videos are human sounding however I don’t believe this to be the case at all. Whilst they are a huge step up over Microsoft Sam and the like, they are definitely not human sounding either. Videos can be encoded for 4 different formats with all examples coming out HD ready. The interface for TTS Sketch Maker is easy to use with a drag and drop interface and clearly labelled text boxes etc. but if for any reason you are unsure, DMA LTD UK have also created a full training guide. On top of this TTS Sketch Maker get a full year of support and a number of bonus products which are mostly based around video marketing.

What is the investment vs. the rate of return?

At the time of writing TTS Sketch Maker is being sold for $31.95 however this does seem to be a dime sale product so costs are constantly going up. There is a money back guarantee provided with DMA LTD UK saying that if you are unhappy with TTS Sketch Maker and find that it isn’t “the right tool for you” you can claim a full refund. In terms of the income potential for TTS Sketch Maker, this is rather a subjective thing. This is not a direct money making product and as such it is difficult to gauge what kind of profit increase to expect. DMA LTD UK sell it on the back of saving money on videos and voiceover work but I’m not sold on this.

Does the product provide value for money?

If you are more concerned with quantity then quality then there is some value in TTS Sketch Maker but in the main I don’t believe that the quality is strong enough to really increase sales.

Conclusion

I have watched plenty of whiteboard sketch videos in my time looking at various products and so I am very aware of what the standard is and in my opinion, what TTS Sketch Maker puts out simply isn’t there. The videos look crude compared to slicker examples of which there is plenty of software available to create them. Whilst TTS Sketch Maker is definitely one of the cheaper examples, I’m of the opinion that this is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. Personally, I’d rather spend more on better videos and voices however if polish isn’t high on your agenda then TTS Sketch Maker might be worth a look.
