HeyGen

What it does

HeyGen generates a presenter from a short recording, then makes them speak any script in dozens of languages with matched lip movement. One demo video can be localised for every target market without re-shooting.

Avatars still fall short on hands and fast movement, so it suits talking-head explainers and listing videos more than factory footage. The free tier is watermarked and short.

Standout features

• Avatar presenters from a short sample video
• 40+ languages with lip-sync
• Video translation that keeps the original voice
• Templates for product explainers
