# AvatarSay

> AvatarSay (avatarsay.com) turns a written description into an original fictional character, then into a short talking video: no photo upload, no subscription, one-time credit packs.

AvatarSay is a small independent web app, not a video editor and not an all-in-one AI studio. You type a description, keep one of two generated portraits, type a script, pick a preset voice, and download a short square MP4. The character in the video is fictional by design: there is no photo upload and no real person is animated.

## What it is not

- Not a photo-to-talking-head tool: no photo upload, no video upload, no face swap.
- Not a presenter or digital-twin product: no likeness of a real person, no voice cloning.
- Not unlimited: paid clips are 5–30 seconds, scripts up to 400 characters, 12 credits per second.
- Not multilingual, not an API, not a team product.
- Name: This is the web app at avatarsay.com. It is unrelated to the archived Rust command-line tool called avatarsay on GitHub, and unrelated to AKFAvatar.
