Text to speech avatar features
Type a script and get a talking avatar
Paste your script and the avatar will deliver it with natural lip-sync and matching expressions. The text-to-video engine turns written words into a finished talking clip in minutes, so you can edit it by changing the text instead of re-recording a single line.
More than 1,100 avatars and 300 AI voices
Choose a presenter from 1,100+ realistic avatars, then pair it with the AI voice generator and its 300+ voices. Match voice to avatar, adjust tone and pacing, and every scene keeps the same face and delivery across the whole video.
Custom avatar from a 15-second clip
Build a digital twin of yourself in Avatar V from one 15-second video, with no eligibility form or studio booking. The model holds your face and voice across wide, medium, and close-up shots, so your custom avatar stays consistent everywhere.
Talking avatars in 177+ languages
Type once and generate the same talking avatar in more than 177 languages and dialects, with voice cloning that carries your tone through every version. Regional accents and phoneme-level lip-sync make every language sound like a native recording, not machine dubbing.
Direct gestures and long scripts
Direct the avatar in plain English, telling it to look at the camera, lean in, or stay calm, so delivery fits the message. A single pass renders up to 30 minutes of continuous talking-head video, holding likeness and voice with no drift across long scripts.
Traditional training shoots require studios and reshoots for every edit. Turn your script into an avatar-led module, then update the text and regenerate it whenever a policy or product detail changes, without booking a crew.
Filming daily short-form content burns hours. Use an AI talking head to post consistent clips for TikTok, Instagram, and X, keeping the same on-screen presenter so your channel builds recognition without you being on camera.
Localising footage means re-recording for each market. Generate one avatar video, then use the AI video translator to deliver it in more than 177 languages, so global teams hear the message in their own language.
Screen recordings alone feel flat. Pair a talking avatar with your product walkthrough to explain features step by step, then regenerate the script the moment the interface or pricing updates, keeping every demo current.
Recording the same pitch for every prospect doesn't scale. Script one message, swap in names or details, and send personalised avatar videos at scale, so your outreach feels one-to-one without spending hours on camera.
Live-anchoring routine updates ties up on-air talent. Broadcast and media teams script an avatar presenter to deliver news segments or localized forecasts on demand, refreshing the video as the story changes without re-staging a shot.
How to create a text-to-speech avatar
Go from script to a finished text-to-speech avatar video in four steps, with no camera, microphone or editing timeline required.
Type your text directly or paste in an existing script, then set your preferred tone and pace.
Choose from more than 1,100 avatars and 300 voices, or select your own custom digital twin.
Generate a preview, adjust gestures and delivery, and translate into any of 177+ languages.
Render in HD or 4K, then download the MP4 or publish it directly to your channels.
