Text to speech avatar features
Type a script, get a talking avatar
Paste your script and the avatar speaks it back with natural lip-sync and matching expression. The text to video engine turns written words into a finished talking clip in minutes, so you edit by changing the text instead of re-recording a single line.
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 175+ languages
Type once and generate the same talking avatar in 175+ 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 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 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 175+ 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 does not scale. Script one message, swap in names or details, and send personalized avatar videos at volume, so outreach feels one-to-one without 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 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 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 175+ languages.
Render in HD or 4K, then download the MP4 or publish it straight to your channels.
