What Is a Text to Speech AI Avatar

A text to speech AI avatar is a digital presenter that reads written text aloud using an AI voice. Instead of recording voiceovers or appearing on camera, you add an AI avatar to your video and enter text into each scene. The avatar narrates the text and appears on screen as part of the video.
