HeyGen Voice
HeyGen Voice from HeyGen turns text into natural speech in 39 languages, detecting the language from the text or taking one you set. Attach a clip of a single speaker and it speaks in that voice, with no training step; without one it uses HeyGen's default voice. Output is 44.1 kHz WAV audio, up to 5,000 characters per request.

FAQ
How much does HeyGen Voice cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
