About HeyGen
HeyGen is an AI video platform that generates realistic talking-avatar videos from a script. Users choose from a library of stock avatars or create a personal Instant Avatar by uploading two minutes of footage of themselves, then type or paste a script in any of more than 175 languages and HeyGen produces a video with lip-synced voice and natural gestures. Features include AI Studio for full video editing with templates, backgrounds and stock media, Video Translation that re-dubs existing videos into other languages with synced mouth movement, Interactive Avatars for real-time conversations, and an API for embedding avatar generation into other products. HeyGen is used by L&D, marketing, sales and customer support teams to scale localized video, and is offered on Free, Creator, Team and Enterprise plans.
