Overview
HeyGen is an AI video generation platform that creates videos with lifelike avatars speaking your script in multiple languages.

The platform excels at personalization—you can create custom avatars that resemble you or your brand, then use them across unlimited videos. HeyGen's video translation feature can convert videos into different languages with dubbed audio, maintaining lip-sync and natural expression.
