  for the Speaking Portrait was licensed by
  MyHeritage from D-ID, a company specializing in
  video reenactment using deep learning.

  Live Portrait technology in Deep Nostalgia to
  animate the faces in historical photos. Deep
  Nostalgia launched in February 2021 to wide
  acclaim and became a global sensation.

  stores in over 30 countries, and since its
  launch, 100 million animations have been created.
  With LiveStory, MyHeritage and D-ID take this
  concept further by adding audio and building a
  compelling narrative of a persons life events.

  users family tree on MyHeritage, or entered
  manually, and is converted to high-quality audio
  using text-to-speech technology.

  the persons face and mouth to speak the audio by
  generating an accurate lip sync. The animation is
  automatically enhanced with photos curated from
  the family tree, or uploaded and paired with the
  narrative by the user.

  users can send directly to family and friends, or
  share on social media.
