What HeyGen does
HeyGen is an AI video generator centered on avatars and spokespersons. In the video category it focuses on turning a script into a person-on-camera clip without any filming. You choose or create an avatar, pick a voice, add your text, and HeyGen produces a video with synchronized speech. Instant avatars can be made from a short webcam or phone recording, and voice cloning lets an avatar speak in your own voice.
Who it is for
HeyGen fits marketers, sales teams, educators and creators who need spokesperson-style video quickly and at volume. A standout capability is video translation: it re-voices existing footage into new languages while adjusting lip movement, so a single video can reach global audiences. Templates cover ads, product demos, social posts and training, and an API supports generating avatar videos programmatically. A free plan with watermarks lets you test it, while paid plans from around $24 per month remove limits and unlock custom avatars.
