THE SIMPLE VERSION

What is HeyGen?

HeyGen turns a script into a presenter video using stock avatars, your consented Digital Twin or translated speech with lip sync. Templates, voices, brand elements and an editor make it especially practical for explainers, training and marketing.

✓ A good fit if you want to…

  • Need a presenter without a camera setup
  • Want translated versions with lip sync
  • Make explainers, onboarding or training

– Choose another tool if you…

  • Want cinematic scene generation
  • Cannot obtain face or voice consent
  • Need default no-training terms on a consumer plan
