Talking Head

Create a talking-head video from a portrait image and audio track.

video

Overview

Talking Head is SilverAI's portrait animation model for generating a speaking presenter from one image and one audio track. It synthesizes mouth shapes, facial motion, and natural expression in time with the supplied speech while preserving the subject's identity, clothing, and overall portrait appearance.

Talking Head has a dedicated public API workflow even though it shares an internal generation checkpoint with Image to Video. Request signed image and audio upload URLs, upload both assets, create the task, and poll until the MP4 is ready. Output duration follows the audio track, making the API suitable for explainers, localized narration, onboarding, and personalized communication.

Key Capabilities

  • Audio-driven lip synchronization: Aligns mouth movement and facial timing with the speech track.

  • Portrait identity preservation: Maintains recognizable facial features, clothing, and framing.

  • Natural facial animation: Adds subtle expression and movement beyond simple mouth replacement.

  • Audio-length output: Produces a video whose duration follows the uploaded audio.

  • Dedicated public workflow: Uses separate Talking Head upload, task, and status endpoints.

  • Asynchronous generation: Signed uploads and polling support longer audio without open requests.

Use Cases

Scale Presenter Content with Talking Head API

Generate consistent presenter video from approved portraits and audio for learning, localization, marketing, and personalized product experiences.

Turn a Portrait into a Natural Speaking Presenter

Applications can animate a trusted portrait using recorded or synthesized speech while keeping the subject recognizable. This provides a reusable presenter layer for product walkthroughs, announcements, customer messages, and avatar-based interfaces.

Produce Training and Onboarding Content at Scale

Learning platforms and internal enablement teams can convert scripts and narration into presenter-led lessons without scheduling a new recording session for every update. Content can be refreshed quickly when policies, products, or training modules change.

Localize One Presenter Across Multiple Languages

Global teams can pair the same approved portrait with translated audio tracks to create consistent regional versions. Because video length follows the audio, each language can retain natural timing while preserving the same presenter identity and visual treatment.
