Turn a company policy into a short training video
Upload the policy your staff are meant to read. DocReel writes a script from it, draws animated scenes for the rules, the warning signs and what to do, and narrates it with captions. You get an MP4 for your LMS.
Sample: “Information security: what every Northmere employee must do” (3:50)
- Made from: a 2-page staff summary of an information security policy for a made-up logistics company. We wrote it for this demo.
- Settings: for Adults, length “Fit the document”, no instructions. Made on 13 November 2026 on the Pro plan.
- Downloads (with Plus and Pro): subtitles SRT · VTT, slides (PDF).
- Editing: none. This is the video exactly as DocReel made it.
A signed policy isn't an understood policy
Staff tick “I have read this” on documents they skimmed. A three-minute video of the rules that apply to them is far more likely to be watched to the end.
The rules people must follow
DocReel builds the video from your policy's own rules, examples and steps, in your wording. It doesn't add rules of its own.
Check the script before it's made
On Pro, read and edit the script first, so legal or HR can approve the wording before any video exists.
The same training in 15 languages
On Pro, make the same video for staff who read Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and 12 other languages. More on multilingual training videos.
Policies teams turn into videos
Information security
Passwords, phishing, lost devices and how to report an incident.
Code of conduct
Respect at work, conflicts of interest, gifts and how to raise a concern.
Health and safety
Site rules, protective gear, reporting a near miss and what to do in an emergency.
How to make a training video from a policy
Nothing to install, nothing to film and no editing software.
Pick the staff summary
Choose the part of the policy that says what staff must do. Sign in with your email and choose “Adults” under Made for.
Upload it
Upload a PDF or Word (.docx) file, or paste the text. For a long policy, choose the pages that apply to everyone. On Pro, tick “Let me check the script” and approve the wording first.
Check it, then publish
Watch the whole video against the policy. Then download the MP4 and the SRT/VTT captions (Plus and Pro) and add them to your LMS, where completion is recorded.

What to know before uploading a policy
Tips for a good compliance video
- Use the staff summary, not the full legal text. A policy written as rules and examples makes a clearer video than definitions and clauses.
- Have the owner approve the script. On Pro, check the script first and get HR, legal or security to read it before the video is made.
- The policy stays the authority. The video helps people understand it; it doesn't replace it or change what it says.
- DocReel doesn't record completion. Use your LMS or HR system to track who has watched the video and to run any test.
- Remake it when the policy changes, and replace the old video in your LMS so nobody is trained on last year's rules.
Privacy
- Anyone with a video's link can watch it, including people it is forwarded to. Don't upload personal information or confidential material.
- Uploaded documents are deleted 30 days after upload. Free videos are deleted 30 days after they're made.
- To make the video, your document's text is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to write the script, and the narration text to Google (Gemini) for the voice; OpenAI or our own server is the backup voice. The privacy policy has the details.
Questions about compliance training videos
Does DocReel track who completed the training?
No. DocReel makes the video. Upload the MP4 to your LMS or HR system to record who watched it and when. In My videos you can see how many times a video was played from its DocReel link, but not by whom.
Can the video end with a test?
Not for adult audiences yet: the closing quiz is for school lessons. Add the questions in your LMS after the video.
Will the video say anything the policy doesn't?
It is written from your document, and the script is told to stay faithful to it. It is still made by AI, so watch the whole video against the policy, and on Pro check the script before the video is made.
Can I put the video in our LMS or intranet?
Yes. Download the MP4 and upload it to your LMS, intranet or shared drive, or share the video's link. On Plus and Pro you can also download SRT and VTT caption files and the slides as a PDF.
Can I put our logo on the videos?
Yes, on Pro. Upload your logo once and it appears on every video instead of the DocReel mark. Free videos carry a small docreel.app badge and end with a short DocReel card; Plus and Pro videos don't.
Can I check the script before the video is made?
Yes, on Pro. Tick “Let me check the script before the video is made”. We email you the script; change the wording of any scene, approve it, and only then is the video made.
Does the video have captions?
Yes. Captions are on the video by default. On Plus and Pro you also get SRT and VTT caption files to upload with the MP4, and you can choose to leave the captions off the picture and use the file only.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
Don't upload confidential material. Anyone with a video's link can watch it, and the text is processed by Anthropic and Google to write the script and voice it. See the privacy policy.
Can I pay yearly or get a receipt?
Yes. Plus and Pro can be paid yearly ($50 or $150 a year, 2 months free). The receipt for every payment is in Manage subscription (in the account menu), ready to download. Payment is by card; sales tax is added where it applies.
How long does it take?
Most videos take about 5–15 minutes; long documents can take longer. You can close the page. We email you a link when your video is ready.
Can I make videos in other languages?
The video uses the language your document is written in, so a Spanish document becomes a Spanish video. On the Pro plan you can also pick another language for the video (15 languages), and DocReel translates the script.
