HeyGen
HeyGen is an AI video platform that makes presenter videos with lifelike avatars from a script, image or audio, and translates videos with lip-sync.
HeyGen creates complete videos with narration, captions, visuals and animation from text, an image or audio, presented by lifelike AI avatars. Its Avatar V model keeps a custom avatar's identity consistent across wide, medium and close-up shots, learns how the person talks and gestures, and syncs lips at the phoneme level in more than 175 languages and dialects. Video translation dubs existing footage into other languages in the speaker's own voice, and voice cloning, a text-based editor, PowerPoint and PDF to video, brand kits and automatic captions round out the toolset. HeyGen says it is used by 85% of the Fortune 100 and more than 100,000 businesses, and it offers an API for developers. A free plan allows three short videos a month, with Creator, Pro and Business plans above it.
