D-ID
Talking-photo and video avatars with real-time interactive agents
About D-ID
D-ID animates photos and videos into speaking avatars and offers conversational 'visual agents' that can be embedded on websites. Its Creative Reality Studio and API share one minute balance, and it also does video translation. It fits developers and businesses building interactive avatar experiences as well as quick talking-head clips.
