Text-to-speech avatar features
Type a script, get a talking avatar
Paste your script, and the avatar delivers it with natural lip-sync and matching expressions. The text-to-video engine turns written words into a polished talking clip in minutes, so you can edit by changing the text instead of re-recording a single line.
1,100+ avatars and 300+ AI voices
Choose a presenter from more than 1,100 realistic avatars, then pair it with the AI voice generator and one of its 300+ voices. Match the voice to the avatar, adjust the tone and pacing, and maintain the same face and delivery in every scene throughout the video.
Custom avatar from a 15-second clip
Build a digital twin of yourself in Avatar V from a single 15-second video, with no eligibility form or studio booking required. The model maintains your face and voice across wide, medium, and close-up shots, so your custom avatar remains consistent everywhere.
Talking avatars in more than 177 languages
Type once and generate the same talking avatar in 177+ languages and dialects, with voice cloning that carries your tone into every version. Regional accents and phoneme-level lip sync keep every language reading as a native recording, not a machine dub.
Direct gestures and long scripts
Direct the avatar in plain English, telling it to look at the camera, lean in, or stay calm, so the delivery fits the message. A single pass renders up to 30 minutes of continuous talking-head video, maintaining the avatar's likeness and voice without drifting over long scripts.
Traditional training shoots need studios and reshoots for every edit. Turn your script into an avatar-led module, then update the text and regenerate 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.
Localizing footage means re-recording for each market. Generate one avatar video, then use the AI video translator to ship it in 177+ languages, so global teams hear the message in their own language.
Screen recordings alone can feel flat. Pair a talking avatar with your product walkthrough to explain features step by step, then regenerate the script whenever the interface or pricing changes, keeping every demo up to date.
Recording the same pitch for every prospect doesn't scale. Script one message, swap in names or details, and send personalized avatar videos at scale, so your outreach feels one-to-one without spending hours on camera.
Having on-air talent present routine updates live takes up valuable time. Broadcast and media teams can script an avatar presenter to deliver news segments or localized forecasts on demand, refreshing the video as the story develops without having to restage a shot.
How to make a text to speech avatar
Go from script to a finished text-to-speech avatar video in four steps—no camera, microphone, or editing timeline required.
Type your text directly or paste an existing script, then set the tone and pacing you want.
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 straight to your channels.
