What is OI Avatar?

OI Avatar is a video creation tool that lets you generate customised videos featuring an animated avatar that speaks in your own voice. Instead of recording yourself on camera, you provide a script and the tool generates a video with an avatar performing the content whilst speaking your words. The avatar's expressions and movements respond to your script, creating a more polished final product than a simple text-to-speech video. This is useful for anyone who wants to create video content without needing cameras, lighting, or appearing on screen themselves. The tool operates on a freemium model, so you can try the basic features for free before deciding whether to upgrade.
