Turn a script into a presenter video
HeyGen makes a talking video from words you type, with an avatar and a voice you choose, so you can ship explainers without a studio day.
Who it helps
HeyGen is for people who need a presenter on screen and would rather write the script than book a shoot. It fits training clips, product explainers, onboarding, and outreach videos where a face delivering lines is the format.
Teams use stock avatars when they want a consistent presenter. You can also create an avatar from a short clip of yourself when the video should look like you.
A free plan lets you try the flow. Paid plans add minutes and voices when video becomes a regular output.
How it makes life easier
Write or paste a script, pick a stock avatar or create one from a clip or photo, and choose a voice. HeyGen generates a video of that presenter speaking the lines. Captions and translation sit in the same toolset, so one script can become more than one language.
You can start from a document or a deck in some flows, then adjust the visuals before export. The result is a finished talking video you can drop into a course, a landing page, or a message.
The time you save is the booking, the lighting, and the reshoot. You still write a clear script. The product handles the performance.
What you get
A script becomes a presenter shot
Skip the camera setup when the video is a person delivering lines you have already written.
Stock avatars are ready to use
Pick a presenter the product supplies and start recording the script without a filming day.
Translation lives in the project
Render the same script in another language without reshooting, then have a native speaker glance at the result.
Questions
Do I have to use my own face?
No. Stock avatars are available, which is the fastest path. Upload yourself only when you want the video to look like you, using a short clip or photo you are happy to use.
What can I make with it?
Explainers, training, product demos, onboarding, and short outreach videos. Type the script, pick a voice and an avatar, generate, then export the clip into wherever you already publish.
Can it caption and translate?
Yes. Captions and translation are part of the toolset. Generate the talking video, then add captions and other languages from the same project instead of starting over.
