HeyGen

AI avatar videos for explainers and localization.

HeyGen generates presenter-style videos from a script using AI avatars, including voice cloning and translation with lip sync. It works well for training, product explainers, and localized updates where filming is impractical. Avatar realism is good at a glance but uncanny on long watches.
