HeyGen

HeyGen is an AI video platform for creating, translating, and localizing videos with avatars and synthetic voices. Users can choose a stock avatar or create a custom video avatar, write a script, generate a presenter video, clone a voice, translate a video, and export at plan-dependent resolution and duration.

HeyGen also offers a separate pay-as-you-go API for programmatic video and translation generation.
