Glossary
A workflow that turns a written script into a finished video — usually by generating a voiceover, animating a face or scene, and assembling the result automatically.
There are two flavors of text-to-video. The first generates entire scenes from scratch (people, rooms, products) — these are still slow and expensive. The second, much more practical, generates a talking-avatar video: a fixed face speaks your script in a chosen voice and language.
Avatar text-to-video is fast (minutes, not hours), cheap, and perfect for tutorials, product walkthroughs, course content, and internal training where you need a presenter but not a Hollywood scene.
Generating a moving video from a single still photograph — most commonly by animating the subject's face to speak.
A virtual on-camera spokesperson generated by AI — used for explainer videos, product demos, courses, and internal communications.
A digital character — usually built from a single photo — whose lips, jaw, and expressions are animated by AI to match a chosen voice or script.
