## What it does

Talking Photo makes a portrait speak a script you type, with lip movement, blinking and natural head motion matched to a natural voice.

## From our test

My test used a portrait of a bearded man in a navy sweater and a two-sentence welcome. The video had him saying it with matching lips and an easy, natural smile.

## Tips

- Use a front-facing portrait with the mouth clearly visible.
- Write the script the way people talk.
- Pick the voice that fits the face.

## Ideas for using it

- A spoken welcome on a website or course.
- Bringing a character or mascot to life.
- Personal video messages from a photo.
