Liveface vs D-ID
D-ID made talking photos popular: upload a picture and a script, and get a video of the face speaking. Liveface also starts from one photo, but instead of a video it gives you a live avatar that speaks on your website whenever your page asks it to.

The difference that matters
With a video, every new sentence is a new render. Liveface animates the face live from timed mouth shapes, so a chatbot's answer, a product description or a greeting is spoken the moment the text exists, as long or short as it needs to be.
When to choose which
- D-ID: short talking-photo videos to download and share, or its hosted agents.
- Liveface: an avatar that lives on your own site, driven by your own code or chatbot, in 13 languages.
